Exercise programs for balance and independence after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing two exercise programs—Neuropilates and the Otago program—to see which one helps people recovering from stroke improve their balance, posture, and ability to do daily tasks on their own. If you are between 40 and 70 and had a stroke in the last 6 to 18 months, this might be a good fit.

This trial compares two types of balance exercises to see which one better improves balance, posture, and reduces the risk of falling in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
This study tests two simple programs—Otago exercises (leg and balance movements) and a fear-reduction technique—to help people who had a stroke improve balance, reduce falls, and overcome fear of falling. It is designed for those still able to walk and in the early weeks of recovery.
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 compares two gentle exercise programs — qigong and the Otago program — to see which one better improves balance and reduces falls in people with diabetic nerve damage. Participating may help you find a safe way to stay active and lower your risk of falling.
This trial tests whether the Otago Exercise Program, a series of simple strength and balance activities, can improve balance, endurance, and motor coordination in children aged 3–6. It may help kids who are typically developing but have some balance challenges.
This study tests whether doing virtual reality exercises or the Otago exercise program (a set of balance and strength moves) can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and walking. It may be a good option if you are comfortable with light exercise and technology.
