Pelvic stability training to help leg movement after subacute stroke

Official title: Effect of Pelvic Stability Training on Lower Limb Motor Function in Subacute Stroke

Run by University of Faisalabad · NCT07609407 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether adding pelvic stability training to standard leg stretching and electrical stimulation helps improve leg motor function after a subacute stroke.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 40–60 who have had a first-ever stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) and can stand with or without assistance.

Probably not a fit

Patients with significant comorbidities or inability to participate in pelvic stability or leg training may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this randomized trial, adults aged 40–60 with a recent stroke are assigned to receive either pelvic stability training plus lower limb stretching and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or lower limb stretching and NMES alone. The aim is to see if targeting pelvic control improves lower limb motor outcomes after subacute stroke. Participants are allocated using consecutive sampling and then block-randomized to the two groups, with informed consent obtained. Treatments combine baseline NMES and stretching for the leg with a pelvic stability program in one arm. The study reports on functional changes in motor performance as a primary outcome.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience improved lower limb function and stability, aiding mobility after stroke.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work suggests targeted pelvic and lower-limb interventions can improve gait and stability after stroke, but results vary by protocol.
