STROKE REHABILITATION

This study compares a home-based telerehabilitation program (Tele-CPASS) to standard in-person therapy for improving arm and hand function after a stroke. Forty-two recent stroke survivors with arm weakness will be randomly assigned to receive 20 hours of either remote or in-pers…

This study tests whether lower limb sensorimotor training (exercises that improve touch and movement awareness) or whole-body vibration therapy (standing on a vibrating platform) can help stroke survivors aged 50-65 improve their balance and reduce fear of falling. Fifty-two part…

This study tests whether adding motor imagery—mentally rehearsing movements without actually moving—to standard physical therapy can improve arm function in stroke survivors. About 51 adults who had a stroke at least 3 months ago will be split into three groups: standard rehab al…

This study tests whether using EEG neurofeedback — a way to train brain activity — can improve arm movement in people who recently had a stroke. Forty adults with a stroke within the past three weeks will either get real or fake (sham) neurofeedback, plus standard rehab. The goal…

This study looks at whether starting with mirror therapy and then using augmented reality can help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement and balance. The study will include 75 adults who had a first stroke at least 3 months ago. The goal is to see if this combination a…

This study tests a smartphone app that uses virtual and augmented reality to help people who had a stroke improve arm movement and thinking skills from home. Seventy chronic stroke patients will either use the app or receive standard care for six weeks. The main goal is to see if…

This study tests whether adding gentle vibrations to the leg muscles can help people recovering from a stroke walk faster. About 70 patients who had a stroke within the past 3 months will either get real vibrations or a fake treatment during their regular rehab. The goal is to se…

This study tests whether speech therapy delivered via video call works as well as traditional in-clinic therapy for people with aphasia, a language disorder caused by stroke. One hundred adults who had a stroke at least a year ago will receive either remote or in-person therapy. …

This study is looking for biological clues to explain why some stroke survivors improve their walking with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) while others do not. Researchers will measure blood lactate, brain chemicals, and blood flow in 55 veterans with chronic stroke. The …

This study looks at how the brain recovers arm movement after a stroke. Researchers will study 50 people who had a stroke 3 to 6 months ago and have trouble moving their arm. Some will get 30 hours of special arm therapy over 6 weeks, while others get usual care. The goal is to l…

This study looks at whether caregivers' expectations for stroke patients' recovery match what physical therapists think is achievable. Researchers will compare goals set by caregivers and therapists for 58 subacute stroke patients. The aim is to improve how rehabilitation goals a…
