Using Functional Proprioceptive Stimulation to aid recovery after stroke

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effects of Functional Proprioceptive Stimulation (FPS) on the recovery of postural and motor functions in patients during the subacute phase following a stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an active FPS group or a control group receiving non-activated stimulation. The study aims to determine if FPS can enhance functional abilities and reduce the time needed for sit-to-stand transfers. The intervention consists of five sessions per week over a maximum of six weeks.
