Summary

This study tests whether adding vestibular (inner ear/balance) exercises to standard physical therapy can reduce fatigue and improve balance and walking in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Thirty adults aged 18–65 will be split into two groups: one gets standard rehab, the other gets standard rehab plus 20 minutes of vestibular exercises per session. Researchers will measure fatigue, balance, and walking before and after the program.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: vestibular exercise program
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease fatigue and improve walking after a stroke.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 people. The exercises may not work better than standard rehab, and results may not apply to all stroke survivors.
