Vojta therapy for posture and trunk control after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of movement therapy called Vojta Therapy to see if it helps improve posture and trunk control after a stroke. It is for people who had their first stroke within the past 3 months and have significant weakness on one side of the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 65 years old
- This is your first stroke, and it happened between 7 days and 3 months ago
- You have weakness on one side of your body (hemiplegia) and your arm is very weak (score of 2 or less on a muscle strength test)
- You can stand with some help and sit without support for 30 seconds
- Your stroke is ischemic (caused by a blockage) and confirmed by a CT scan

This trial compares two types of physical therapy—Vojta therapy and standard rehabilitation—to see which helps stroke survivors recover better. If you had a recent ischemic stroke, this study could help you improve in a structured, supportive way.
This trial tests if a type of training that combines eye exercises with arm movements can help people who have had a stroke regain better use of their affected arm.
This trial tests whether combining task-oriented exercises with focal vibration (gentle vibrating stimulation) can help improve arm and hand function and feeling in people who've had a stroke. The vibration aims to help your brain better sense where your hand is and what it's touching.
This trial tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve arm movement, breathing, and quality of life in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It involves a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck during therapy sessions.
This trial tests whether virtual reality therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke within the past 6 weeks to 6 months. You must be able to do some arm movement and have no major health issues that prevent participation.
This study tests alternative therapies to help improve physical abilities like walking, balance, and arm/leg function after a stroke. It may help if you can follow instructions and safely participate in supervised movement exercises.
