This study tests whether adding a special tape (kinesio taping) to standard rehab helps stroke survivors improve their balance, coordination, and daily activities. Sixty adults who had a stroke at least a month ago will be split into two groups: one gets rehab plus the tape, the …

This study tests whether a special nerve block (PENG block) added to standard physical therapy can reduce shoulder pain and improve movement in people who have had a stroke. About 15 adults with stroke-related shoulder pain will receive the injection and be monitored for changes …

This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction training (using a cuff to lightly limit blood flow during exercise) and brain stimulation (rTMS) to standard rehab can help stroke patients with paralysis on one side move better. 69 adults who had a stroke will be split into…

This study tests whether allowing the hips to move freely during robot-assisted walking training helps stroke survivors walk better and feel less afraid of falling. About 36 people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago will receive either free-hip or restricted-hip robotic train…

This study tests two types of electrical stimulation to relieve shoulder pain in people who have had a stroke. One group gets standard TENS therapy, while the other gets TENS plus an extra muscle-stimulating current (NMES). The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain, i…

This study tests whether adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to standard motor rehabilitation can improve movement and daily function in people who have had a first ischemic stroke. Sixty-six adults aged 18 …

This study looks at whether a single session of a mental practice technique (watching and imagining a reaching motion) can immediately improve arm movement smoothness in stroke survivors. About 28 adults aged 40-80 who have had a stroke and have some arm movement will participate…

This study checks if a tool called the Hypertonia Assessment Tool (HAT) works well for adults who have had a stroke. The HAT helps doctors tell apart different types of muscle tightness, like spasticity and rigidity. Researchers will test 60 stroke survivors to see if the tool gi…
