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.
