Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether plantar vibration—gentle vibrations applied to the sole of the foot—can help improve walking speed and balance in people recovering from stroke. You would receive this treatment alongside your regular rehabilitation exercises. The study will compare people who receive the actual vibration treatment to those who receive a placebo (fake vibration) to see if the real treatment makes a real difference.
Many people who have had a stroke struggle with walking and balance for months or years afterward. Researchers want to know if this new treatment might help rebuild the nerve signals in the foot that control how we walk and stay steady.

If you join this study, you will attend sessions over three consecutive days. On each day, you'll receive 30 minutes of vibration applied to the bottom of your foot (delivered in three 10-minute periods with short breaks), plus continue with your regular rehabilitation exercises. Half of participants will receive real vibration at a specific frequency, and half will receive placebo vibration—neither you nor the researchers will know which group you're in until the study is complete.
