NCT ID NCT06276075
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding mental practice (motor imagery) and a special tilt table (ErigoPro) to standard rehab could improve balance in people who had a stroke. 66 participants, 6-8 weeks after their stroke, took part. The goal was to see if these extra therapies help with stability and trunk control.
