Gait Training for Concurrent Optimization of Weight Mgt,bp Regulation and Functional Mobility
Sequenced Hybrid Electromechanically Assisted and Conventional Gait Training for Concurrent Optimization of Weight Management, Blood Pressure Regulation, and Functional Mobility in Chronic Stroke Survivors: A Multicenter RCT
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability and death worldwide, with chronic survivors often experiencing gait disturbances (affecting up to 80%), reduced physical activity, and cardiometabolic comorbidities like obesity and hypertension. These increase risks of recurrent events and diminish quality of life. Electromechanically assisted gait training (EAGT) provides high-intensity, repetitive practice, while conventional gait training (CGT) enhances real-world functional transfer. Evidence gaps exist in the optimal sequencing of these approaches for concurrent improvements in weight management, blood pressure (BP), and mobility, particularly in high-risk chronic stroke populations. This multicenter RCT addresses these gaps by evaluating a sequenced hybrid protocol.
