NCT ID NCT07077837

First seen Dec 29, 2025 · Last updated Jun 08, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study tested whether adding a perceptual learning exercise—training patients to feel differences in floor hardness with their feet—could improve balance and reduce fall risk in people with hemiplegia (paralysis on one side) after a stroke. 34 adults aged 45-65 who had a stroke more than six months ago took part. The goal was to see if this simple foot-training technique could make standard balance therapy more effective.
