This study tests whether a 10-week balance-focused exercise program can improve how the calf muscle activates when starting to walk in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers in Kuwait will enroll 80 participants who can walk independently. The goal is to see if these exerci…

This study tests whether adding a gentle electrical stimulation to the spinal cord during walking therapy can help people with a recent spinal cord injury (within the last 6 months) regain leg movement and walking ability. About 40 participants will receive either standard walkin…

This study tests whether doing simple mental math (like addition or subtraction) right before walking can help stroke survivors move better. About 17 participants will either do math or rest before walking tests. The goal is to see if this 'brain warm-up' improves walking speed a…

This study compares walking patterns between 50 people with gait disorders and 50 healthy volunteers using small body-worn sensors and muscle activity monitors. Participants wear sensors on their legs and trunk while walking 18 meters. The goal is to identify precise differences …

This study looks at two ways to help people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) walk better. One group gets foot surgery followed by rehabilitation, the other gets only physical therapy. Researchers will track walking speed and endurance for up to two years to see which approa…

This study looks at how doing mental tasks—like naming objects or remembering words—changes the way people with Parkinson's disease walk. Researchers will compare 30 people with Parkinson's to healthy volunteers of the same age and sex. The goal is to find out which type of think…
