Stroke recovery gets a digital boost: home exergaming trial aims to sharpen mind and body
NCT ID NCT07446062
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a web-based program that combines physical exercises with brain games for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Researchers want to see if it improves walking, balance, memory, and attention better than usual care. About 52 adults will be randomly assigned to either the 12-week home program or standard care, and their progress will be measured through tests before and after.
