NCT ID NCT03009773
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether practicing walking while doing other tasks (multitasking) helps people recovering from a stroke walk faster than just walking practice alone. It included 26 adults who had a stroke within the past 6 months and had trouble walking. The trial was stopped early, so the results are limited.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could point toward more effective rehabilitation strategies to improve walking speed and balance after a stroke.
