Could a simple leg pump help stroke survivors regain balance?
NCT ID NCT07404631
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether using an intermittent pneumatic compression device on the leg can improve ankle joint awareness (proprioception) and balance in people who have had a stroke. Fifty-six participants aged 50-65 with moderate balance problems will receive the treatment. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive approach can help reduce instability and fall risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Intermittent pneumatic compression device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to improve balance and reduce fall risk in stroke survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (56 people) with no blinding or placebo control, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. The intervention is a device, not a cure.
