Summary

This study tests a device called PoNS that stimulates the tongue to improve walking and balance in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. 30 participants will use the device along with physical therapy for 12 weeks. The main goal is to check safety, but researchers will also measure if it helps with balance, reduces falls, and improves quality of life.
