Stroke gait rehabilitation

This study tests whether whole-body vibration therapy, given after a Botox injection, can reduce muscle tightness and improve balance in stroke survivors. Fifty participants with ankle spasticity will either receive vibration or a placebo for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure cha…

This study tests whether vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with rehabilitation can improve leg and walking function in people who have had an ischemic stroke. Researchers will enroll 24 adults who are already approved for VNS therapy for arm problems. The goal is to see if thi…

This study tests a training method called MINT that helps stroke survivors reduce abnormal muscle co-activation in their legs. The goal is to improve walking speed and endurance. Researchers will enroll 72 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have moderate to severe …

This study looks at how much walking practice on a special treadmill (split-belt) with virtual reality stroke survivors can handle in early recovery. About 72 people who had their first stroke within the past three months will try different amounts of training to find the safest …

This study tests whether a personalized exercise program, designed using motion sensors to identify specific walking problems, can improve gait in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Fifty-two participants will do 12 supervised sessions over six weeks. The goal is to…

This study investigates how stroke affects arm swing during walking and whether real-time virtual reality feedback can help improve it. Researchers will measure muscle activity and movement in both stroke survivors and healthy adults to understand the differences. Participants wi…
