Tai chi with cycling for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining tai chi exercises with cycling helps people who recently had a stroke improve their balance, strength, and walking. It is for individuals in the early recovery phase (2 weeks to 3 months after stroke) who can walk at least 10 meters with or without help.
