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.

This study tests whether adding mirror therapy to regular walking and leg exercises helps people who have had a stroke walk better and improve leg function. Mirror therapy uses a mirror to create the illusion that the affected leg is moving, which may help rewire the brain.
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 a simple therapy where you use a mirror to make your affected arm or leg look like it's moving normally. It may help improve your movement, feeling, and quality of life after a stroke.
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.
This trial tests whether combining sensory feedback with mirror therapy can help people who have had a stroke improve arm movement. It may be a good option if you are at least three months past your stroke and have some but limited arm function.
