ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a special technique called motor imagery can help people who have had a stroke improve their trunk control, posture, balance, and mobility when combined with task-oriented training. Motor imagery involves imagining movements in your mind, which can help your body learn to move better. Researchers want to see if this approach makes a difference for patients recovering from a stroke.

To participate in this study, you need to be an adult who has had a stroke for more than three months but less than six months. You should be able to sit without support and stand for at least 30 seconds. You also need to have moderate muscle tightness but not any major cognitive issues. Unfortunately, if you have problems like neglecting one side of your vision or have other conditions that affect your movement, you won't be able to take part. If you join the trial, you can expect to engage in training sessions that focus on these skills, which may help improve your recovery after a stroke.
