Mirroring and imagining movements after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if watching and imagining movements can help people who had a stroke within the last year walk better and move easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can walk with some help or on your own (using a walker or cane is ok)
- You have not had more than one stroke

This study tests if thinking about moving your arm (motor imagery) and watching a video of arm movements can help you move better after a stroke. It uses a technique called EMG to measure muscle signals while you try or imagine moving.
This study tests whether using a mirror to create a visual illusion of leg movement can help improve walking and balance for people who have recently had a stroke. It is designed for patients who are still in the hospital and have weakness on one side of their body.
This study tests whether mirror therapy—watching your unaffected arm move in a mirror to trick your brain—helps improve movement, feeling, and quality of life after a stroke. It's for people who still have some arm and leg function and can follow simple instructions.
This trial tests whether using a mirror together with mild electrical stimulation on the skin can improve lower-limb movement after stroke. You may be eligible if you can already lift your ankle a bit and walk independently, and if certain thinking, vision, and skin issues are not present.
This trial tests whether using a mirror to create the illusion of movement can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. It may be a good option if you have limited arm movement and can follow simple instructions.
This trial tests whether mirror-based therapy can help improve movement in the affected hand and wrist after a stroke. It may help you regain upper-limb function when standard rehab alone isn’t enough.
