Summary

This study looks at whether closed kinetic chain exercises (like squats) and kinesio taping can improve knee awareness, balance, and daily function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. Thirty participants will be assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal is to find better ways to help stroke survivors move more easily and safely.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: closed kinetic chain exercises and kinesio taping
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward simple, non-drug ways to improve leg function and balance after a stroke.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply widely. The interventions may not lead to meaningful improvements.
