NCT ID NCT06181877
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how activating two key core muscles—the transversus abdominis and lumbar multifidus—affects balance in 36 people with hemiplegia (paralysis on one side) after a stroke. Researchers measured balance using standard tests like the Berg Balance Scale. The goal was to understand which muscles matter most for balance, which could help design better rehab exercises.
