This study tests whether a single session of a mental practice technique called PETTLEP-based Action Observation and Motor Imagery (AOMI) can immediately improve arm movement in stroke survivors. Participants watch and mentally rehearse a reaching task, while a control group does…

This study tests whether adding posture-oriented kinesio taping to standard rehabilitation helps stroke survivors improve their mobility, balance, coordination, and ability to perform daily tasks. About 60 adults who had a stroke at least one month ago and have trouble with postu…

This study tests whether adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to standard physical therapy can improve arm and hand function in people who have had a first ischemic stroke. Researchers will compare real rTMS …

This study tests whether a special nerve block (called PENG) added to standard physical therapy can reduce shoulder pain and improve movement in people who have had a stroke. About 15 adults with stroke-related shoulder pain will receive the block or a placebo. The goal is to see…

This study tests whether allowing the pelvis to move freely during robot-assisted walking training helps stroke survivors walk better, improve balance, and feel less afraid of falling. About 36 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago will receive either pelvic-free or pelvi…

This study tests whether combining two therapies—blood flow restriction training (using a cuff to partially restrict arm blood flow during exercise) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation)—can improve arm and leg function in people who …

This study tests whether adding a second type of electrical stimulation (NMES) to standard TENS therapy works better for stroke patients with shoulder pain. About 40 adults who had a stroke within the past year and have at least moderate shoulder pain will be randomly assigned to…

This study checks if a tool called the Hypertonia Assessment Tool (HAT) works well for adults who have had a stroke. The HAT helps doctors tell apart different types of muscle tightness, like spasticity and rigidity, which can guide better therapy. Researchers will test 60 stroke…
