Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Summary

This study tested whether special ankle exercises could improve balance and walking in people who had a stroke at least a year ago. 140 participants were split into two groups: one did the ankle training plus standard gait training, the other did standard gait training alone. After 12 weeks, the ankle training group showed better balance and movement. The goal is to reduce falls and improve daily life for stroke survivors.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
targeted ankle proprioceptive training
What this could lead to
If this training works, it could offer a simple, non-drug way to improve balance and walking in people who have had a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial, but results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The training requires supervision and may not help those with severe impairments.
