What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

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.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looked at how 44 chronic stroke survivors control their leg muscles when walking on a special treadmill with two belts moving at different speeds, or when using a virtual reality screen that gives feedback on their walking pattern. The goal was to see if these methods change how muscles work together. The findings may help design better physical therapy to restore more natural walking after a stroke.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could point toward better rehabilitation strategies that help stroke survivors regain more natural walking patterns.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study (44 participants) focused on understanding muscle activity, not testing a treatment. Results may not directly improve walking function.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria for stroke survivors are: * Chronic hemiparesis (time since stroke \> 6 months) caused by a single documented stroke event. * Ability to walk on the treadmill continuously for 2 minutes * Ability to walk over ground independently or with the use of a cane * No concurrent neurological disorders or orthopedic conditions that interfere with their ability to walk * No prior experience walking on a split-belt treadmill * Normal or corrected to normal vision * The ability for them or a guardian to provide informed consent. Inclusion criteria for neurotypical adults are: * No musculoskeletal conditions or injuries that limit walking ability within the last two years * No history of neurological disorders or severe head trauma * No prior experience walking on a split-belt treadmill * Normal or corrected to normal vision. Exclusion Criteria for stroke survivors are: * Inability to walk * Concurrent neurological disorders or orthopedic conditions that interfere with their ability to walk * More than one stroke * Visual neglect * Uncontrolled hypertension * Inability to provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria for neurotypical controls are: * Inability to walk * Concurrent neurological disorders or orthopedic conditions that interfere with their ability to walk * Uncontrolled hypertension * Inability to provide informed consent.
