Power training may boost stroke recovery in new pilot study
NCT ID NCT06780995
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 10-week power exercise program for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Researchers want to see if it improves walking, strength, and balance better than standard strength training. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to either the power program or standard training. The goal is to see if a larger study is possible and if power training can help stroke recovery.
