Sound and laser combo shows promise for stroke balance recovery
NCT ID NCT07206485
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a device that uses sound vibrations and laser-guided motion could help stroke survivors improve their balance and sensory integration. 44 adults aged 45-60 who had a stroke at least 6 months earlier participated. The therapy aimed to retrain the brain's ability to use sensory information for balance control.
