Core and hip exercises for balance after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
