Proprioception clinical trials

Exercise rehab with added movement retraining after stroke

This trial tests whether adding a specific movement-retraining method (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) to heart-and-lung style exercise improves recovery after stroke. It focuses on people who still have one-sided weakness and can already walk a short distance.

Thumb joint position sense study for thumb base arthritis

This study tests how well people with thumb base arthritis can sense their thumb's position. It aims to understand how this sense is affected by the condition and may help improve future treatments.

Gongs Mobilization and Stretching for Frozen Shoulder

This study tests two hands-on treatment techniques—gongs mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (a type of guided stretching)—to help reduce stiffness and improve movement in frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder causes pain and loss of motion in the shoulder joint; this trial aims to see if these treatments can help restore function.

Shoulder Release Therapy for Frozen Shoulder Pain

This study tests whether adding a specific muscle-release technique to shoulder exercises helps reduce pain and improve movement in frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Frozen shoulder causes stiffness and pain that limits arm movement; this trial explores whether combining two physical therapy methods works better than standard care.

Proprioceptive Sensorimotor Integration With Neural Interfaces for Hand Prostheses

Upper arm amputation rehab study to improve hand control and feel

This trial tests a new approach for rehabilitation after an upper-limb amputation to help improve your ability to intentionally control a prosthetic and regain a sense of position (“proprioception”). You may be considered if you are planning an elective upper-arm or below-elbow amputation and can safely have surgery and follow up closely.

Facial exercises for improving symmetry in Bell's palsy

This trial tests whether special facial exercises can help people with Bell's palsy regain a more symmetrical face. The exercises focus on muscle control and nerve movement, and may improve recovery when done in the early months.

How focus instructions affect strength training and walking in older adults

This study tests whether different types of mental focus during strength training can improve walking ability in older adults. It may help find better ways to stay steady and prevent falls.

Proprioception and strength after ACL reconstruction

This study looks at how well people regain body awareness, muscle strength, and fear of movement after ACL knee surgery. It may help understand recovery patterns in the first year after surgery.

Shoulder and arm exercises for stroke with shoulder blade issues

This trial tests if specific shoulder and arm exercises can improve movement and walking in people who had a stroke and have shoulder blade problems. It may help if you have some muscle tightness but can still follow instructions.

Neck and Eye Exercises for Chronic Ankle Instability

This study tests whether specific exercises for your neck and eye movements can help improve balance and stability in ankles that frequently give way or feel unstable. The goal is to see if these exercises reduce symptoms and improve your ankle function.

Initial neck exercises for forward head posture and pain

This study tests if initial neck exercises can improve how well you sense your neck's position (proprioception) and reduce pain in people with forward head posture and chronic neck pain.

Study of hereditary ATTR amyloidosis symptoms

This study looks at how a specific genetic change (Val50Met) affects people with hereditary ATTR amyloidosis. It may help doctors better understand the condition and its symptoms.

Modified arm therapy for children recovering from stroke

This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy for children who have had a stroke. It tests whether adding special movement exercises to a commonly used therapy helps improve arm function better than the therapy alone.

Taping and exercises for upper crossed syndrome

This study tests if wearing a special tape and doing corrective exercises can help with neck and shoulder posture and muscle balance. It might be a good option if you have poor posture called upper crossed syndrome.

Can gentle nerve stimulation help stroke survivors move better?

This study tests how a gentle electrical stimulation of the arm might improve your sense of position and movement after a stroke. It compares stroke survivors to healthy volunteers to see if this treatment helps your brain reconnect with your arm.

Hand therapy after wrist fracture surgery

This study tests two hand therapy methods to help improve wrist position sense after a broken wrist is fixed with metal plates and screws. It may help participants regain better control and function after surgery.

Pilates for Back Pain Recovery in Middle-Aged Women

This study tests whether Pilates exercises can help women aged 45–60 with chronic lower back disc problems improve their balance, leg strength, and body awareness. Pilates focuses on core stability and controlled movement, which may help restore function lost due to the disc herniation.

Shoulder muscle and balance study for rotator cuff tear

This study looks at how shoulder problems affect muscle strength and balance. It may help understand why shoulder pain can affect your daily activities.

Ankle joint motion and body awareness after stroke

This study tests if a hands-on ankle treatment can improve your sense of where your ankle is in space (proprioception) after a stroke. It looks at how well you can feel and control your ankle movement.

Exercises with music beats for ankle sprain recovery

This study tests if adding rhythmic music or sounds to special balance and stability exercises helps people recover better from a mild to moderate lateral ankle sprain (an injury to the outer side of the ankle). It may be a good option if your ankle sprain happened 2 to 8 weeks ago and you haven't had ankle surgery before.

How vision and body sense work after stroke

This study looks at how your brain combines what you see with what you feel in your body after a stroke. It may help understand how these senses work together to guide movement.

Sensory training to improve arm control after stroke

This study tests a hands-on sensory training approach that uses signals from one sense to help your brain control your arm and hand after stroke. It may help improve grip and arm steadiness, especially for people who still have mild-to-moderate arm weakness more than 6 months after a stroke.

Balance therapy tailored with changed visual cues for neuropathy

This study tests a balance-retraining program that uses modified visual information to help people with neuropathy feel steadier while walking. You may benefit if your balance problems are linked to nerve-related sensitivity and you can safely participate in walking and standing exercises.
