First seen Mar 25, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests a non-invasive treatment that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to improve walking and balance in people who have weakness on one side of the body due to a stroke. Researchers will enroll 115 adults who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can walk with some help. The goal is to see if this stimulation can make their gait more symmetrical and boost their endurance.
