Could a free smartphone app replace the goniometer for stroke rehab?
NCT ID NCT07690982
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks whether a free smartphone app called PhysioMaster can reliably measure posture and range of motion in people who have had a stroke. Researchers will compare the app's measurements to those from standard tools like the universal goniometer. Sixty stroke survivors aged 40–70 will be assessed by two different physiotherapists, with one repeating the app test after three days to see if results are consistent. If the app proves valid and reliable, it could offer a simple, low-cost way to track recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the app proves reliable, it could offer stroke survivors and therapists a free, easy way to track posture and movement at home or in clinics.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage validation study, not a treatment trial. The app may not be as accurate as standard tools, and results may not apply to all stroke patients.
