Constraint Induced Movement Therapy for Walking After Stroke

This study is testing two different training methods to see which one better improves walking ability in people who have had a stroke. You would either receive robotic training or treadmill training, both given three times a week for six weeks. Researchers want to see if these trainings help you walk faster and further. To join, you need to be between 21 and 75 years old, have had one stroke, and be able to walk more than 10 meters without help. The study will measure your walking speed and how far you can walk at the beginning, after six weeks of training, and then eight weeks later. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is a randomized study, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to one of two training groups. It aims to enroll 36 participants.
What's involved
You would undergo intensive locomotor training three times per week for six weeks. Each training session will last 45 minutes.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your walking ability will be assessed eight weeks after the end of the six-week training period.
