Which exercise helps stroke survivors walk better? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07506174
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of exercise programs—pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and multiplanar trunk training—to see which one better improves balance and functional mobility in people who have had a stroke. The trial will involve 48 chronic stroke survivors who can sit and walk with help. Participants will do their assigned exercises for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, for 12 weeks. The goal is to find a more effective rehabilitation method to help stroke patients regain balance and reduce fall risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises and multiplanar trunk training exercises
What this could lead to
If one exercise program proves better, it could point toward a more effective rehabilitation approach for improving balance and walking after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The exercises may not lead to meaningful improvements for everyone.
