Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 19 and older who have experienced a stroke within the last three months and have lower extremity weakness.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with stroke recurrence, severe cognitive impairment, or other significant medical conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the feasibility and safety of an in-bed self-exercise program utilizing EMG-sensor feedback for patients who have experienced a subacute stroke. Participants in the intervention group will engage in graded exercises tailored to their muscle strength and recovery stages, alongside conventional rehabilitation methods. The study aims to measure various outcomes, including participation rates and motor recovery assessments, to determine the effectiveness of this innovative approach compared to standard rehabilitation alone.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could enhance recovery outcomes for stroke patients by providing a tailored exercise regimen that promotes motor function improvement.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using EMG feedback for rehabilitation is promising, this specific application in subacute stroke patients is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
