Mind over movement: can imagining actions help stroke survivors recover?
NCT ID NCT07480122
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well people who have had a stroke can imagine movements (motor imagery) and how that relates to their neglect, arm function, daily activities, and quality of life. Researchers will assess 50 participants using tests and questionnaires. The goal is to better understand these connections to improve future rehabilitation.
