Can simple exercises or vibration therapy help stroke survivors regain balance?
NCT ID NCT07642154
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether lower limb sensorimotor training (exercises that improve touch and movement awareness) or whole-body vibration therapy (standing on a vibrating platform) can help stroke survivors aged 50-65 improve their balance and reduce fear of falling. Fifty-two participants will receive one of the two therapies plus standard physical therapy for 8 weeks. The goal is to see which approach works better for post-stroke rehabilitation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
sensorimotor training and whole-body vibration therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple, non-drug therapy to improve balance and reduce fear of falling after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The therapies are behavioral, so benefits may be modest.
