New therapy combo aims to loosen stiff muscles after stroke

NCT ID NCT06922149

Summary

This small, completed study tested if combining a special type of massage with specific leg exercises was better than exercises alone for people living with long-term effects of a stroke. Eight participants tried both treatments to see if the combination could better reduce muscle stiffness, improve leg movement, walking speed, and quality of life. The goal was to find a more effective way to manage common and challenging symptoms after a stroke.
