REHABILITATION

This study compares getting skilled nursing care at home versus in a traditional facility for people who need rehabilitation after a hospital stay. About 300 adults will be randomly assigned to either recover at home with a technology-supported care team or go to a skilled nursin…

This study explores whether joining a weekly reading group can improve reading comprehension and communication confidence in adults with aphasia, a language disorder often caused by stroke. Participants read a book at home and then discuss it in a 90-minute group session each wee…

This study tests whether giving people with rotator cuff shoulder pain regular updates on their progress (like pain scores and strength) helps them recover better. 56 adults aged 18–35 will either get standard rehab or standard rehab plus these progress updates. The goal is to se…

This study tests whether exercising both legs together (bilateral training) or just the affected leg (unilateral training) with visual feedback from mirrors and floor targets works better for improving balance, walking, and sensation in people who had a stroke. Fifty participants…

This study compares traditional balance exercises with video game-based exergaming (using Nintendo Switch Ring Fit Adventure) in stroke survivors with hemiplegia. Thirty participants will be split into two groups, both receiving standard physiotherapy plus either balance exercise…

This study is testing a new physical therapy protocol for people over 50 who have had arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery. Researchers will track shoulder function, pain levels, and sleep quality over the recovery period. The goal is to gather better evidence on what helps patients…

This study looks at how middle-aged men and women lose muscle after a week of not using one leg, and how they recover with exercise. Researchers will measure muscle strength, size, and genetic activity to find sex-specific differences. The goal is to learn more so future treatmen…

This study brings together stroke survivors, families, staff, and researchers to co-design a toolkit that helps everyone follow trial protocols in inpatient stroke rehabilitation. The goal is to reduce missed sessions and errors, making trial results more trustworthy. About 38 pe…
