Lumbar back therapy for better walking and balance after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle, hands-on therapy called Mulligan Mobilization for the lower back. It may help improve walking, balance, and body awareness after a stroke.

This trial tests whether hands-on spinal manipulation can help people recover mobility and function after a stroke. Researchers will see if this treatment, combined with standard care, improves how well stroke survivors can walk and move.
This study tests if gentle manual therapy techniques called Mulligan mobilizations can help reduce pain and improve movement in people with long-lasting low back pain that has no clear specific cause.
This study looks at how stroke affects your spine, posture, balance, walking, and energy use. Researchers want to help design better rehab programs for recovery.
This study tests whether gentle spinal movements (Maitland and Mulligan techniques) combined with exercises to open the spinal canal can reduce pain and improve function in people with lumbar spinal stenosis caused by a slipped disc.
This study uses special motion-tracking tools to measure balance and trunk control in people with first-time stroke, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand how these conditions affect stability, which could help tailor rehabilitation.
This study compares two different exercise-based therapies to see which one helps stroke survivors improve balance and walking better. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance with or without help.
