First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding action observation (watching movements) and motor imagery (imagining movements) to standard physical therapy can improve balance, daily function, and quality of life in people who had a stroke within the past year. About 56 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard rehab alone or standard rehab plus these mental training techniques. The goal is to see if these simple, low-cost additions can help the brain re-learn movement more effectively.
