What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looked at why some people have trouble balancing while sitting after a stroke. Researchers used a special pressure-sensing pad and motion trackers to measure how 32 stroke survivors shifted their weight and moved their head and trunk. The goal was to better understand these balance problems, which can make it harder to transfer, stand, and walk.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better tools for assessing and treating sitting balance problems in stroke survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study with only 32 participants. It aims to understand mechanisms, not test a treatment, so direct patient benefits are uncertain.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
