Personalized exercise program to improve walking in stroke patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a data-driven individualized exercise prescription aimed at enhancing gait patterns in individuals who have experienced a stroke. Participants will undergo 12 supervised exercise sessions over six weeks, receiving either a data-driven or conventional exercise program tailored to their specific gait impairments. Assessments will be conducted at baseline and after six sessions to measure improvements in motor recovery, gait speed, balance performance, and community integration. The approach utilizes various exercise modalities and is supervised by experienced research assistants.
