NCT ID: NCT07077837

Last Updated: 2025-12-02

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 34 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL

Brief Summary

Hemiplegia, a common stroke sequela, significantly impairs motor function, leading to balance issues and increased fall risk. Traditional rehabilitation methods often fall short in fully restoring function. This study explores Perceptual Learning's role in enhancing balance training outcomes.

Conditions

Hemiparesis; Balance

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: TRIPLE
