Mind over muscles: can imagining movement help stroke survivors?
NCT ID NCT06980181
First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026
Summary
This study tested two therapies—graded motor imagery (thinking about moving) and mirror therapy (using a mirror to trick the brain)—in 44 adults aged 45-65 who had a stroke at least 3 months earlier. The goal was to see which approach better reduces muscle stiffness (spasticity) and helps with daily independence. Neither therapy is a cure, but both aim to make movement easier and improve quality of life.
