Neck exercises plus motor relearning after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding neck stabilization exercises to a standard motor relearning program helps people who have had a recent stroke improve their movement and function better than the motor program alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
