Beat the odds: rhythmic exercises may boost stroke recovery
NCT ID NCT07578818
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether corrective exercises paired with rhythmic auditory stimulation (like music or beats) can improve balance, walking, and quality of life in people who have had a stroke. Thirty-two adults aged 40-60 with subacute ischemic stroke will participate. They will do 60-minute exercise sessions three times a week for 6-8 weeks, focusing on balance and strength. The goal is to see if adding rhythm makes standard rehab more effective.
