NCT ID NCT05985603
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different therapies—mirror therapy and modified constraint-induced movement therapy—to see which better reduces fall risk and improves balance and walking in 36 stroke survivors. Participants were between 21 and 70 years old with mild to moderate stroke effects. The goal was to find a simple, effective way to help people regain stability and move more safely after a stroke.
