Action observation vs motor relearning for stroke balance
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of therapy—watching actions and a standard motor relearning program—to see which helps stroke survivors improve their balance and walking. If you are able to stand briefly, you may benefit from this extra rehab.

This study tests a combined motor relearning program and aerobic exercise to improve balance and leg function in people recovering from a stroke that happened 1 to 5 months ago. If you qualify, you would receive this therapy to help with your standing stability and walking ability.
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 study tests whether watching movements and listening to sounds at the same time can help improve walking and moving after a stroke. It is for people who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can already walk a bit.
This study tests whether watching and practicing hand movements (with one or both hands) can help improve hand function and grip strength in people who had a stroke on the left side of their brain. The therapy uses observation and practice to retrain the brain and hand after stroke.
