Balance training methods for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises to help stroke survivors improve balance and walking. One method uses arm and leg movements, while the other focuses on the pelvis area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 40 and 65 years old.
- Your stroke happened less than 6 months ago.
- You can understand and follow simple instructions (confirmed by a brief mental test).

This study compares two types of physical therapy to help people regain trunk control and balance after a stroke. Participants will receive either PNF (a hands-on technique using rhythmic movements) or NDT (another hands-on technique focusing on movement patterns) to improve stability.
This study tests whether special exercises focused on stabilizing your pelvis (hip area) can help improve leg strength and movement after a stroke. The training is designed for people in the early recovery phase who are learning to stand and walk again.
This study compares two types of walking and balance exercises for people who had a stroke 6 to 12 months ago. It aims to see which type of practice helps improve balance and walking best.
This trial tests whether combining pelvic PNF (a therapy that uses specific patterns to improve movement) with trunk training can help people with chronic stroke walk better and improve balance.
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises to see which one better helps stroke survivors improve trunk control, balance, and daily activities. It may be a good fit if you had an ischemic stroke and are between 6 months and 1.5 years into recovery.
This study compares two types of physical therapy to help stroke patients improve balance, sensation in their legs, and confidence walking. The goal is to see which approach works better for people recovering from stroke.
