NCT ID NCT06303050

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether adding mental imagery practice to standard movement training can reduce fear of moving (kinesiophobia) in people who had a stroke. 44 stroke patients with high fear of movement took part. One group did mental imagery plus task-oriented training, while the other did task training alone. The goal was to see if the combination improved balance, walking, and reduced fear better than training alone.
