ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a therapy called Vojta Therapy, which focuses on improving the muscles in the abdomen for people who have suffered brain injuries, such as those from a stroke. The researchers want to see how this therapy affects the stabilizing muscles of the trunk before, during, and after the treatment. They will work with two groups of participants: one group will have brain injuries, and the other group will consist of healthy individuals for comparison.

To be eligible for the study, participants with brain injuries need to be between 18 and 80 years old and able to walk, even with some assistance. Healthy participants must also be between 18 and 80 years old and should not have any conditions that could affect their abdominal muscles. During the trial, participants can expect to undergo a standardized intervention protocol, which means they will follow the same steps throughout the study to ensure consistency in the results. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to provide important insights into how Vojta Therapy can help strengthen abdominal muscles in individuals with brain injuries.
