Shoulder pain may throw off balance in stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT07159178
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether shoulder problems make balance worse for people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side. Researchers will compare balance in 100 stroke survivors—some with shoulder pain and some without. The goal is to understand if treating shoulder issues could help improve mobility and daily life.
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 this study finds a link, it could point to better rehabilitation strategies that include shoulder care to improve balance in stroke patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to all stroke survivors.
