NCT04721860Completed
Optimizing Training in Severe Post-Stroke Walking Impairment
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Sept 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Difficulty walking is common after a stroke. Although physical rehabilitation helps a little with the improvement of walking ability, recovery is usually incomplete. The purpose of this study is to explore how two different treadmill training approaches influence walking speed, symmetry, and balance in people with chronic severe stroke-related walking impairment. The two approaches involve either forward or backwards treadmill training. This study will look at changes in walking performance and balance, before and after training. This study may lead to more efficient methods for improving walking performance and balance after stroke.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- Unstable cardiac status which would preclude participation in a moderate-intensity exercise program.
- Adverse health condition that might affect walking capacity (severe arthritis, significant pulmonary disease significant ataxia, or severe hemi-neglect)
Other
- Significant language barrier which might prevent the participant from following instructions during training and testing.
- Severe lower extremity spasticity (Ashworth \>2)
- Depression (\>10 on the Patient Health Questionnaire, if untreated).

- Ability to maintain greater than or equal to 0.3mph speed for 6-minute interval on the treadmill
- Able to walk independently (cane and hemi-walker acceptable)
- Ambulate \>10 meters over ground with the Free Step Harness System (as a safety precaution)
- Discharged from formal rehabilitation
