This trial is testing whether the way you think about your movements while standing up and sitting down can help improve your balance and symmetry after a stroke. Researchers want to compare two approaches: one where you focus on your own body's movements, and another where you focus on an external target or goal. The study involves 20 people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
After a stroke, many people have difficulty with balance and uneven movement when standing up and sitting down. This study explores whether changing how you think about the task—focusing either on your body or on an outside target—might help improve these movements and reduce the risk of falls.

You would visit the research location for a single session where researchers measure your movement and balance. First, they will collect some basic health information and perform several quick tests. Then you'll practice standing up and sitting down 40 times while receiving either instructions to focus on your body's movements or instructions to focus on an external target—whichever group you're randomly assigned to. Your movements will be measured at the beginning, 5 minutes after practice, and again 1 hour after practice using special equipment that tracks your position and movement.
