CHRONIC STROKE

This study compares two different doses of Wii Fit-based virtual reality balance training added to standard physical therapy for people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either conventional rehab alone, or conventional rehab p…

This completed study tested a device called MR-001 that uses rhythmic auditory stimulation (like music or beats) to help people who have had a stroke walk better. 234 chronic stroke patients with walking problems used the device at home for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if it imp…

This study tested a wearable device that delivers electrical stimulation to multiple leg muscles in stroke survivors. The goal was to help them walk more naturally by retraining how their muscles work together. 53 chronic stroke survivors used the device over 18 sessions. The stu…

This study tested a new occupational therapy program called PRO-MAMA for older mothers (70+) who have had a stroke. The program focuses on helping them take part in meaningful activities related to their role as a mother. Fourteen women completed the program, and researchers meas…

This study tested a personalized brain stimulation technique called iTBS to help people with long-term thinking and memory problems after a stroke. Sixty participants received either real or sham stimulation over three weeks. The goal was to see if this approach could safely impr…

This study tested whether a 24-session program of functional electrical stimulation (FES) on the tibial nerve could improve walking in people who had a stroke more than a year ago. Fifteen participants with chronic stroke and leg weakness were enrolled. The main goal was to see i…

This study tested a device that gently stimulates nerves in the head and neck to help people who had a stroke move their arm better. Sixteen adults who had a stroke at least six months ago used the device during rehabilitation. The goal was to see if the device is safe and if it …

This study tested whether combining intense arm training with electrical muscle stimulation and brain stimulation could improve arm function in 20 chronic stroke survivors who had severe hand paralysis for more than 6 months. Participants received both types of brain stimulation …

This study tested whether stroke survivors could use non-immersive virtual reality exercises at home to improve arm function and balance. Twenty-seven people with chronic stroke (more than 6 months since their stroke) participated in an 8-week program. The exercises were designed…

This study tested a powered hip exoskeleton for gait training in 32 people who had a stroke at least 3 months earlier. Participants used the device for 10 sessions over 5 weeks. The main goal was to check safety and see if walking speed improved.

This study tested whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (tES) can improve movement and thinking in people who had a stroke. Sixty adults who had a stroke between 2 weeks and 2 years ago received real or fake stimulation while doing physical therapy. Researchers…

This study looked at whether a hand-held device called a dynamometer can accurately measure leg strength in 20 people who had a stroke more than 3 months ago. The goal was to reduce measurement errors and give therapists better information for designing therapy. Participants perf…

This completed study tested a wearable device that delivers electrical stimulation to multiple leg muscles to help stroke survivors walk more naturally. Researchers first measured muscle activity in 30 healthy adults to understand normal walking patterns. The next step will be to…
