Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.

Summary

This study tests whether lower limb sensorimotor training (exercises that improve touch and movement awareness) or whole-body vibration therapy (standing on a vibrating platform) can help stroke survivors aged 50-65 improve their balance and reduce fear of falling. Fifty-two participants will receive one of the two therapies plus standard physical therapy for 8 weeks. The goal is to see which approach works better for post-stroke rehabilitation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
sensorimotor training and whole-body vibration therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple, non-drug therapy to improve balance and reduce fear of falling after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The therapies are behavioral, so benefits may be modest.
