First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether special knee strengthening exercises can improve balance and body awareness (proprioception) in people who had a stroke. About 34 participants who had a stroke 3 months to 1 year ago will do either isokinetic knee exercises or standard rehab. The goal is to see if these targeted exercises help with movement and prevent falls.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a simple exercise program to help stroke survivors regain better balance and movement control.
