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 combining functional muscle training with turning-based specific training to enhance turning ability and balance in patients recovering from stroke. It focuses on individuals with subacute and chronic strokes, utilizing a randomized control trial design to assess improvements in gait and quality of life. The intervention includes targeted exercises designed to address difficulties in turning, which is a common challenge faced by stroke survivors. The study will measure outcomes related to balance, turning ability, and overall quality of life improvements.
