HEMIPARESIS

This study tested a new balance training method for people with leg weakness (hemiplegia) after a stroke. It aimed to see if improving how well they can feel differences in floor surfaces through their feet could reduce their risk of falling and improve leg strength. The trial in…

This study tested a home-based brain-computer therapy system to help stroke survivors regain hand and arm movement. It compared a special robotic glove, controlled by the user's brain signals, against standard hand exercises. The goal was to see if this remote, high-tech therapy …

This study tested whether an intensive rehabilitation program called I-ACQUIRE helps babies who had a stroke around birth improve movement in their weaker arm. Researchers compared two different amounts of therapy (3 hours/day vs 6 hours/day for 4 weeks) against regular therapy i…

This study tested whether adding a robotic training device to standard physical therapy helps people walk better after a stroke. 62 older adults recovering from a stroke were randomly assigned to receive either standard therapy alone or standard therapy plus sessions with the Lun…

This study tested a new therapy to help children with hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body) walk better. Researchers combined rhythmic music with gentle electrical leg stimulation during walking practice. The goal was to see if this combination could improve walking safe…

This small research study explored whether stroke survivors could improve hand function by mentally practicing hand movements while receiving real-time feedback from their brain activity. Sixteen participants who had experienced a stroke at least six months earlier underwent trai…

This small, completed study aimed to understand how a treatment called focal extracorporeal shock wave therapy works to reduce arm stiffness (spasticity) after a stroke. Researchers tested the therapy on 12 stroke survivors to see if it works by changing the muscle tissue itself …

This study tested if wearing a weighted brace on the unaffected ankle could help people walk better after a stroke. It compared a weighted brace to a non-weighted one over three months. The goal was to see if the extra weight improved how far participants could walk in six minute…

This study aimed to discover which practice methods best help stroke survivors relearn how to use their weaker arm. Twenty-eight participants with arm weakness from a past stroke were split into two groups to practice a scooping task over two days. Researchers compared how well e…
