HemiparesisNCT07077837
Effect of Incorporating Perceptual Learning Into Plantar Hardness Discrimination on the Risk of Falling and Muscle Torque in Patients With Hemiplegia
A study testing Study Group in people with Hemiparesis and Balance, run by Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan at 1 site in Egypt.
Trial 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. Read more about this study

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
risk of fall
The Biodex Balance System is advice to measure different parameter of body balance, posture stability and risk of falling
Measured: 4 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
muscle torque
Isokinetic devices are used in assessments to evaluate muscle strength and function by measuring resistance at a constant speed. These devices, often called isokinetic dynamometers, are particularly helpful in identifying muscle weaknesses
Measured: 4 weeks
Functional independent measures scale
Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Study Group in people with Hemiparesis and Balance, run by Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
risk of fall (time frame: 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Dec 2025.
