Hemiplegia

This study tests whether combining two non-invasive therapies can improve hand function in people who had a stroke at least six months ago and have severe arm weakness. The therapies are a brain stimulation technique called rTMS and a device that uses electrical stimulation to op…

This study tests an implanted electrical stimulator to improve walking in people who have had a stroke. Six participants will first be screened, then receive the implant and use it at home. Researchers will compare advanced control settings to a simple trigger to see which works …

This study tests whether giving stroke patients real-time feedback on muscle activity—either through a visual display or sounds—can improve balance, walking, and daily independence when added to standard physical therapy. The trial enrolls adults aged 20-30 who have had a hemiple…

This pilot study tests whether a home-based training program using joystick-operated ride-on toys can help children aged 3-8 with hemiplegia improve arm function. Children will use their affected arm to drive the toy through playful challenges, compared to a creative upper extrem…

This study compares a special exercise program called Coordinative Locomotor Training (CLT) to regular physiotherapy for children aged 8 to 12 with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a condition that causes stiffness on one side of the body. CLT uses running and skating movements…

This study tests a device called GaitBetter that combines treadmill walking with cognitive training (like thinking tasks) to help stroke survivors improve their walking and balance. About 76 people who had a stroke (either within 8 weeks or more than 6 months ago) will use the de…

This study tests two different therapies—digital mirror therapy and action observation therapy—to see which better improves arm movement and grip strength in children with hemiplegia (one-sided weakness). Forty-five children aged 6 to 8 will participate. The goal is to find a sim…

This study looks at the cost and benefits of a two-week day camp for children with mild to moderate arm weakness (hemiparesis) from cerebral palsy or brain injury. In the first week, children wear a constraint on their stronger arm to encourage use of the weaker arm, followed by …

This study compares traditional balance exercises with video game-based exergaming (using Nintendo Switch Ring Fit Adventure) in stroke survivors with hemiplegia. Thirty participants will be split into two groups, both receiving standard physiotherapy plus either balance exercise…

Researchers are studying whether the thickness of two calf muscles, the gastrocnemius and soleus, relates to balance, walking ability, and fear of falling in people with hemiplegia after a stroke. They will use ultrasound to measure muscle thickness on both the weakened and unaff…

This study looks at whether shoulder problems make balance worse for people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side. Researchers will compare balance in 100 stroke survivors—some with shoulder pain and some without. The goal is to understand if treating shoulder issue…
