Balance and trunk training for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises to see which one better helps stroke survivors improve trunk control, balance, and daily activities. It may be a good fit if you had an ischemic stroke and are between 6 months and 1.5 years into recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether combining pelvic PNF (a therapy that uses specific patterns to improve movement) with trunk training can help people with chronic stroke walk better and improve balance.
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 a nurse-led program to help stroke patients improve their trunk control while in the hospital. It is designed for patients who have trouble with trunk movement and need extra support during recovery.
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 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 tests different levels of balance training in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It aims to find the best exercise intensity to improve balance and prevent falls.
