ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how telerehabilitation, which means online therapy, can help stroke patients improve their physical activity and reduce fatigue. Specifically, the study focuses on spinal stabilization exercises that are designed to strengthen the muscles and improve coordination. By using these exercises, researchers hope to see if they can help people who have had a stroke feel better and move around more easily.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 50 and 75 years old and have had an ischemic stroke (the most common type, caused by a blockage in blood flow) at least a year ago. You should also be able to walk around with or without help and have access to the internet and a device like a smartphone or tablet for the online sessions. The study is currently recruiting participants, and anyone interested can volunteer to take part. This trial could be a great opportunity to receive support and exercises that may help improve your daily life after a stroke.
