- Registration Number
- NCT07077837
- Lead Sponsor
- Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan
- 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.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method risk of fall 4 weeks The Biodex Balance System is advice to measure different parameter of body balance, posture stability and risk of falling
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method muscle torque 4 weeks 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
Functional independent measures scale 4 weeks
