This study tests a new type of physical therapy called NICE rehabilitation for people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side. The therapy uses a computer to show patients how to activate specific muscles, helping them regain arm movement. Researchers will measure cha…

This study tests whether a quick, gentle push on the lower back (called lumbar spinal manipulation) can improve balance and lower fall risk in people who have had a chronic stroke. Fifty-two participants will receive both the real manipulation and a placebo version at different t…

This study tests whether combining augmented reality (AR) balance exercises with a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can improve balance and movement in people who have had a stroke. About 28 chronic stroke survivors with balance issues will be split into two groups: one …

This early study tests a robotic leg brace with smart software that senses how a person walks and adjusts its help in real time. Researchers want to see if this adaptive system improves walking speed and balance in stroke survivors compared to a standard brace. About 20 people, i…

This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) mindfulness program can help reduce anxiety in people who have had a stroke. About 48 adults who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still feel anxious will use a VR headset for 9 sessions over 3 weeks. The goal is to see if thi…

This study looks at whether clenching your jaw can immediately improve walking and movement in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Thirty participants will either clench their teeth on cotton rolls or keep their jaw relaxed, then take walking and balance tests. The g…

This study looks at whether adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS to standard physical therapy can help people with chronic stroke-related weakness improve their movement, balance, and quality of life. Twenty adults who had a stroke at least six months ago…

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 playing specially designed video games (exergames) can help people with chronic stroke improve arm movement and quality of life better than standard home exercises. About 32 adults who had a stroke more than 6 months ago will be randomly assigned to eithe…
