Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether vestibular exercises—special movements and exercises that work with your body's balance system—can help reduce fatigue and improve balance and walking ability in stroke survivors. Fatigue is one of the most common and frustrating problems after stroke, and it can slow down recovery. This study compares standard rehabilitation exercises alone against standard exercises combined with 20 minutes of specialized vestibular training.
Fatigue after stroke is very common and can significantly delay recovery, but doctors don't yet have a proven, evidence-based treatment for it. This new treatment approach is based on the idea that special balance exercises may help the brain adapt and recover better, which could reduce fatigue and improve how well patients can move and walk.

You would attend exercise sessions three times per week for 8 weeks. If you're in the standard group, each session would be one hour of conventional rehabilitation exercises. If you're in the vestibular group, you would do 40 minutes of standard exercises plus an additional 20 minutes of specialized balance and eye-movement exercises. Throughout the study, researchers would track your fatigue levels, balance, and walking ability to see if the vestibular exercises make a difference.
