First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will look at how balance, arm movement, and body awareness are related in 53 people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Participants will complete tests like standing on a special platform, reaching tasks, and questionnaires. The goal is to understand these connections better so that future rehab can be more personalized and effective.
