ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the effects of customized foot insoles on stroke patients. The goal is to see if these insoles help improve foot alignment, body alignment, and balance in people who have had a stroke. The study will include 20 participants who are over 50 years old and have experienced a stroke more than a year ago. To qualify, participants should be able to understand instructions, have no serious orthopedic issues, and agree to take part in the study.
Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will wear the customized insoles in their daily life for six weeks, while the other group will not wear them. The researchers will evaluate everyone's foot and body alignment and balance both before and after the six weeks using special equipment. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to gather important information that could help improve the daily lives of stroke survivors.
