See if PhysioMaster can accurately measure posture and range of motion in stroke patients

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

What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates the validity and reliability of the PhysioMaster smartphone app for measuring posture and range of motion in stroke patients. Participants will be assessed using PhysioMaster, a universal goniometer, and PostureScreen Mobile without receiving any intervention. Therapists will perform assessments on the first day to compare measurements across devices. The study focuses on adults aged 40 to 70 who are at least six months post-stroke and meet specific functional criteria. No active treatment is provided during participation, and results will inform whether PhysioMaster can be a trustworthy tool for remote or in-clinic posture and ROM assessment in stroke care.
