ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how effective a special exercise program, called the Motor Relearning Program (MRP), is when combined with traditional physical therapy for improving movement in patients who have had a stroke. The researchers want to see if this combination helps people move better, especially those who have had weakness on one side of their body for a long time, known as hemiplegia.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be between the ages of 45 and 65 and have experienced a stroke more than six months ago. They should be able to understand and follow verbal instructions and have a good level of mental function. Participants can expect to engage in both regular physical therapy and the new MRP, which focuses on relearning movements. It's important to note that if someone has had other neurological issues, certain cognitive challenges, or has previously participated in the MRP, they may not be eligible for this study. Overall, the trial aims to find better ways to help stroke survivors regain their mobility and independence.
