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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looked at how activating two key core muscles—the transversus abdominis and lumbar multifidus—affects balance in 36 people with hemiplegia (paralysis on one side) after a stroke. Researchers measured balance using standard tests like the Berg Balance Scale. The goal was to understand which muscles matter most for balance, which could help design better rehab exercises.

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 point toward better rehabilitation exercises for improving balance in stroke survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 36 participants. It does not test a treatment, so results may not lead to direct clinical changes.
