GAIT DISORDERS

This study tests whether doing simple mental arithmetic before walking can improve gait speed and balance in people who have had a stroke. Seventeen participants will either solve math problems or watch a blank screen before walking tests. The goal is to see if this mental warm-u…

This study tests two types of balance training for people with Parkinson's disease: one using a virtual reality headset and the other combining physical exercises with mental tasks like counting. The goal is to see which approach better improves balance, walking, and thinking. Th…

This study tests whether a 10-week balance-focused exercise program can improve how the calf muscle activates when starting to walk in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers in Kuwait will enroll 80 participants who can walk independently. The goal is to see if these exerci…

This study tests whether adding a gentle electrical stimulation to the spinal cord during walking therapy can help people with a recent spinal cord injury (within the last 6 months) regain leg movement and walking ability. About 40 participants will receive either standard walkin…

This study compares walking patterns between 50 people with gait disorders and 50 healthy volunteers using small body-worn sensors and muscle activity monitors. Participants wear sensors on their legs and trunk while walking 18 meters. The goal is to identify precise differences …

This study looks at two ways to help people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) walk better. One group gets foot surgery followed by rehabilitation, the other gets only physical therapy. Researchers will track walking speed and endurance for up to two years to see which approa…

This study looks at how doing mental tasks—like naming objects or remembering words—changes the way people with Parkinson's disease walk. Researchers will compare 30 people with Parkinson's to healthy volunteers of the same age and sex. The goal is to find out which type of think…
