Can zapping the brain help stroke survivors learn to step better?

NCT ID NCT06681207

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looks at how a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called cortical priming affects the ability to learn leg movements in both healthy adults and people who have had a stroke. Researchers will measure changes in stepping speed and brain activity after five sessions combining stimulation with stepping practice. The goal is to better understand how the brain controls leg movement after stroke, which could guide future rehabilitation approaches.
