STROKE REHABILITATION

This study tests a smartphone app that uses virtual and augmented reality games to help people who had a stroke improve arm movement and thinking skills at home. Seventy adults who are at least three months past their stroke will use the app for six weeks or receive standard care…

This study tests whether adding gentle vibrations to the foot muscles of stroke patients can improve walking speed. About 70 people who had a stroke within the past 3 months will either receive standard rehab plus real vibrations or standard rehab plus a sham (fake) vibration. Th…

This study tests whether speech therapy delivered remotely (via video) works as well as in-person therapy for people with aphasia after a stroke. About 100 adults who had a stroke at least a year ago will receive either remote or in-clinic therapy. The goal is to see if both appr…

This study tests whether doing mirror therapy before augmented reality training helps stroke survivors improve arm movement and balance. About 75 adults who had a stroke 3 months to 3 years ago will take part. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard reha…

This study tests whether a brain-training technique called EEG neurofeedback can improve arm movement when started soon after a stroke. About 40 adults who had a stroke within the past 3 weeks will either get real or fake neurofeedback alongside standard rehab. The goal is to see…

This study aims to understand how the brain changes when people recover arm movement after a stroke. Researchers will enroll 50 people who had a stroke 3-6 months ago and have moderate to severe arm weakness. Participants will either receive intensive arm training or usual care, …

This study looks at whether caregivers' goals for stroke patients' recovery match what physical therapists think is realistic. Researchers will compare goals set by caregivers and therapists for 58 subacute stroke patients. The aim is to improve how rehab goals are set, with no e…

This study looks at factors that influence how long stroke patients stay in the hospital for rehabilitation. Researchers will track 134 patients and measure their recovery using standard tests. The goal is to better understand when patients reach a 'plateau' in their recovery, wh…

This study aims to find biological markers that can predict which stroke survivors will improve their walking speed with high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Researchers will measure blood lactate levels and brain activity in 55 Veterans with chronic stroke to build a model t…
