Wobble board vs. Swiss ball for balance after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of balance exercises—using a wobble board or a Swiss ball—to see which helps stroke survivors improve their balance and daily stability.

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 whether special balance exercises (vestibular training) can help people who have had a stroke walk more safely and reduce their risk of falling in the community. It may be a good fit if you had a first stroke at least 6 months ago and can walk short distances.
This study tests a special balance training system that uses visual feedback to help stroke survivors improve their walking and reduce fall risk. It may be a good fit if you've had a stroke on one side and still have some trouble with balance or walking.
This study tests two different ways to help people recover balance and walking ability after stroke. You'll do either sensorimotor training (exercises focused on body awareness and coordination) or dual-task training (exercises that combine physical movements with mental tasks), and researchers will measure which approach works better.
This study compares two types of physical therapy to help stroke patients improve balance, sensation in their legs, and confidence walking. The goal is to see which approach works better for people recovering from stroke.
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.
