Stroke survivors often walk more slowly and struggle to produce the movements needed for efficient walking. This study tests whether small wearable devices that vibrate during walking can help people with chronic stroke change specific walking movements linked to speed, propulsio…

Researchers compare two rehabilitation methods for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a condition that causes muscle tightness and limited arm movement on one side. The trial enrolls 40 children aged 8 to 12 who receive either electromyography biofeedback training, which us…

This study tests whether using a ride-on toy for 6 weeks can help children with cerebral palsy use their weaker arm and hand more. Ten children will wear a mitten on their stronger hand to encourage using the other hand while driving and playing. Researchers will measure changes …

This study tests whether doing simple mental arithmetic before walking can improve gait speed and balance in people who have had a stroke. Seventeen participants will either solve math problems or watch a blank screen before walking. The goal is to see if this 'cognitive priming'…

This study tests whether combining neuromuscular electrical stimulation with upper limb nerve exercises can improve hand grip strength and range of motion in people who have had a stroke. The trial will include 44 adults who had an ischemic stroke at least 3 months ago and have s…

This trial tests whether adding a structured home exercise program to regular clinic-based physical therapy helps people aged 40-50 with sub-acute stroke walk better and do daily activities. 72 participants will either get clinic rehab alone or clinic rehab plus home exercises li…

This study tests whether a personalized robotic telerehabilitation program can help people recover arm movement after a stroke. Seventy participants will use a wearable robotic device with virtual reality exercises at home for 4 weeks, supervised remotely. The goal is to see if t…

This study compares a robotic glove to standard hand therapy for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a condition where one side of the body is weaker. Seventy children aged 7-15 will receive either robotic or conventional therapy for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure hand fu…

This study tests whether a single session of a mental practice technique called PETTLEP-based Action Observation and Motor Imagery (AOMI) can immediately improve arm movement in stroke survivors. Participants will either watch and mentally rehearse a reach-to-grasp task or do a c…

This study tests whether adding functional electrical stimulation (FES) to task-oriented training helps stroke survivors with arm spasticity regain more movement than training alone. All participants receive Botox for spasticity first. The trial will enroll 40 adults who have had…

This study tests a new robotic walking trainer called Rise&Walk InHome that stroke survivors can use at home. Twenty adults who had a stroke 3 months to 5 years ago will either use the device for 30 minutes, 4 times a week plus usual care, or just usual care. The goal is to see i…

This study compares two types of robotic hand therapy for people with chronic stroke and hand weakness. One group uses a robot that moves when the patient's brain waves show they are imagining the movement, while the other group uses a robot that moves automatically. The goal is …

This study tests whether combining two therapies—blood flow restriction training (using a cuff to partially restrict blood flow during exercise) and brain stimulation (rTMS)—can improve arm and hand function in people who have weakness on one side after a stroke. 69 adults will b…

This study looks at whether adding exergaming (video games that require movement) to standard NDT-Bobath therapy can improve spinal mobility in children aged 10-15 with cerebral palsy. Forty-two participants will be split into two groups: one doing seated exergaming and the other…

This study looks at whether custom-made shoes can improve walking quality in people who have had a stroke and still have trouble walking due to muscle tightness and foot dragging. About 58 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago will wear adapted shoes and be tested on how …

This study tests whether allowing the pelvis to move freely during robot-assisted walking training helps stroke survivors walk better, improve balance, and reduce fear of falling. About 36 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago will receive either pelvic-free or pelvic-res…

This study tests whether adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to standard TENS therapy provides extra relief for shoulder pain after a stroke. Forty adults with hemiplegic shoulder pain will receive either TENS alone or TENS plus NMES, alongside their usual rehab. T…

This study looks at whether adding posture-oriented kinesio taping to standard rehab helps stroke patients improve their balance, coordination, and daily activities. Sixty adults who had a stroke at least one month ago will be randomly assigned to get either the tape plus rehab o…

This study will test whether robotic-assisted therapy can improve hand function, grip strength, and wrist position sense in 32 children aged 6-9 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Participants will use a robotic device to perform repetitive, goal-oriented hand exercises. The goal is…

This study will test whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the lower back, combined with walking exercises, can improve mobility and balance in people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who have weakness on one side. Thirty adults with a non-penetrating TBI at least two…

This study investigates whether digital health literacy—the ability to find and use health information online—is linked to social participation in adults with hemiplegia after a stroke. Researchers will assess 250 participants using questionnaires to measure digital health litera…

This study looks back at children with unilateral cerebral palsy (weakness on one side) who took part in intensive therapy programs called COLHEMI or Mini-COLHEMI. These programs provide many hours of focused hand and arm training over two weeks. Researchers want to understand ho…

This study will look at how muscle stiffness and tone relate to balance in children aged 6 to 12 with spastic hemiplegia, a condition where one side of the body is tight and weak. Researchers will use a handheld device to measure muscle properties and a balance system to test sta…

This study checks if a tool called the Hypertonia Assessment Tool (HAT) can correctly identify different types of muscle tightness in adults who have had a stroke. The tool was already tested in children with cerebral palsy, but not in adults after stroke. Researchers will test 6…
