What this could mean

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

What this could lead to: If successful, this research could help clinicians better understand why fear of falling develops after stroke, leading to more personalized rehabilitation programs.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study with a small sample size (106 participants), so findings may not apply to all stroke survivors and cannot prove cause and effect.
