Summary

This study tests whether adding a personalized music-based aerobic exercise program to standard physical therapy helps people recovering from a stroke. About 92 patients in the subacute phase will either receive standard therapy alone or standard therapy plus 30-minute music-guided exercise sessions, five days a week for six weeks. The goal is to see if the music program improves mobility, balance, mood, and independence in daily activities.
