A Phase 2/3 interventional study of gait-oriented rehabilitation and gait-oriented rehabilitation in Stroke, sponsored by University of Jyvaskyla. Status unknown at 4 sites in Finland. Open to participants aged 55 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2009-02-23.

The purpose of the first part of this study is to understand plastic brain mechanisms associated with successful gait-oriented stroke rehabilitation. Patients are randomized to receive intensive in-patient multiprofessional rehabilitation at different time points. One group will receive rehabilitation immediately after an acute care at the neurological clinic (8 days) and one group 5 weeks after the insult. Patients practise walking every workday for 60 min (actual 30min) either on a treadmill or on a gait trainer for four weeks, and receive also other physiotherapy. In addition to selected parameters measuring brain plasticity, detailed assessments of functional abilities including motor ability and quality of life will be performed. A novel tool, MR-image navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is utilized in assessing cortical excitability in relation to stroke, time, rehabilitation, and recovery.
7,286 studies on the registry are indexed under Stroke; 2,013 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 80 is above the median of 50 across 5,366 interventional studies indexed under Stroke.
