NCT ID NCT06558721
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different therapies to help people who recently had a stroke regain leg movement and balance. One therapy used a mirror to trick the brain into thinking the affected leg was moving, while the other used a special bike that gave small electrical pulses to the leg muscles. The goal was to see which approach worked better for improving walking and quality of life.
