Motor imagery and core exercises for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if combining mental practice of movements (motor imagery) with core-strengthening exercises helps improve balance and sleep in people who had a stroke 6 months to 2 years ago.

This study tests if combining a gentle electrical brain stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation) with core stability exercises helps improve trunk control after a stroke. It may be helpful if you are 55 or older, had your first stroke within the past six months, and can stand and walk on your own.
This trial tests if adding special hip exercises to core strengthening can improve trunk control and balance in people who had a stroke 2 weeks to 6 months ago. It may help those who can still walk a little.
This trial tests whether combining mental imagery practice with a robotic hand device can help improve hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The robotic hand reads signals from your arm muscles to help you practice controlled movements.
This trial tests a motor relearning program to help people who had a stroke more than six months ago improve their ability to move and walk. It focuses on retraining the brain and body to work together for everyday activities.
This trial tests a way to retrain your brain's rhythms after a stroke to help you move your arm and hand better. It uses a non-invasive head coil (TMS) to stimulate the brain while you squeeze a grip device.
This study tests a balance exercise program combined with watching movement videos to help improve balance and walking in people who have had a stroke. It may help reduce falls and improve daily function.
