Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are chronic hemiplegic patients aged 45-65 who are at least six months post-stroke and can follow verbal commands.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with cognitive impairments, recent surgeries, or other neurological disorders may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a motor relearning program (MRP) combined with conventional physical therapy (CPT) in improving functional mobility in chronic hemiplegic patients. Participants are randomly assigned to either a control group receiving only CPT or an experimental group receiving both CPT and MRP. The intervention consists of three sessions per week for six weeks, focusing on activities that enhance the transition from sitting to standing. The study monitors improvements in lower extremity mobility among participants.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance mobility and independence for chronic stroke survivors.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar rehabilitation approaches, indicating potential for success in this study.
