Scientists watch brain activity as stroke survivors walk and think
NCT ID NCT07624630
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how stroke changes the way the brain handles walking while doing another task, like listening or navigating. Researchers will monitor brain activity in 50 stroke survivors as they walk on different paths and respond to sounds. The goal is to better understand these challenges so future therapies can be more effective.
