Can combined Arm-Leg training rebuild balance after stroke?
NCT ID NCT07754110
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a structured rehabilitation program called HABIT-ILE, which combines intensive arm, hand, and leg exercises, can improve balance and coordination in people recovering from a stroke. The trial will include 44 stroke survivors aged 40 to 60, who will be randomly assigned to receive either the HABIT-ILE training or standard care. Over three weeks, participants will engage in progressively challenging activities for two hours daily, with outcomes measured using balance and coordination tests.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HABIT-ILE, an intensive rehabilitation program combining arm, hand, and leg exercises
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this intensive training approach could become a standard rehabilitation method to help stroke survivors regain balance and coordination, improving independence.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small (44 participants) and early, so results may not apply broadly. Intensive training may be physically demanding, and improvements might not last long-term.
