NCT ID NCT07578948
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of exercise programs to see which one better improves balance and leg movement in people who have had a stroke. The study includes 52 adults aged 45 to 65 who had a stroke 6 to 10 months ago and have mild to moderate leg weakness. Participants will do either task-oriented resistance training or a modified Otago exercise program, and their progress will be measured using balance and motor function tests.
