Can simple exercises help stroke survivors regain balance?
NCT ID NCT07484581
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of exercise—wobble board and Swiss ball—to see which better improves balance and stability in stroke survivors. About 38 people aged 40-60 who had a stroke more than 6 months ago will participate. The goal is to find a simple, effective way to reduce fall risk and improve daily movement.
