Can AI coach stroke survivors to better balance?
NCT ID NCT07357896
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether balance training guided by artificial intelligence can improve pelvic alignment and reduce fall risk in people who have had a stroke. Thirty-eight stroke survivors will wear sensors and perform static and dynamic balance exercises. The AI adjusts the exercises in real time based on each person's performance. The goal is to see if this personalized approach leads to better balance and safer walking.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- balance training using artificial intelligence
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new, personalized therapy to improve balance and reduce falls in stroke survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 38 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The AI approach is still experimental.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Stroke patients of both sexes diagnosed with first onset of stroke. * Stroke duration of 3 to 6 months. * Patients aged between 55-65 years. * Sufficient cognitive function (\< 24 points on the mini-mental state examination). * Ability to stand and walk 10 meters independently without supervision. * Lower limb spasticity graded as ≤ 2 on the modified Ashworth scale (MAS). * Patients who are medically stable. Exclusion Criteria: * Recurrent strokes. * Brainstem or cerebellar strokes. * Other neurological diseases that could affect balance. * Patients with disability in visual, auditory, and vestibular systems. * Musculoskeletal diseases such as recent fractures/ surgeries of lower extremities or contractures of the hip and knee flexors affecting standing balance. * Sensory, perceptual and cognitive deficits.
