What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This trial investigates whether adding strength training for the tibialis anterior muscle (which lifts the foot) to proprioceptive (balance) exercises improves recovery in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Participants will be assigned to six weeks of either balance exercises alone or balance exercises plus strength training. Researchers will measure changes in muscle strength, balance, walking, and daily function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Proprioceptive training with or without tibialis anterior strength training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective rehabilitation program for chronic stroke survivors to improve balance, walking, and independence.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 76 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The exercises require physical ability and may not benefit those with severe impairments.
