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 two different exercise approaches for people who have had a stroke months or years ago. One approach uses pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)—specialized movements that focus on your pelvic area and core—while the other uses multiplanar trunk training, which works muscles in multiple directions. Researchers want to see which approach works better at helping stroke survivors regain balance and the ability to walk.
Many stroke survivors struggle with balance and mobility long after their initial recovery, which can limit their independence and quality of life. This trial exists to find the most effective exercise method to help these patients rebuild their strength and confidence in moving around safely.

You would be assigned to one of the two exercise groups and work with a physical therapist who will guide you through either pelvic PNF exercises or multiplanar trunk training. The sessions will focus on improving your balance, core strength, and ability to walk. You'll likely visit the clinic multiple times over several weeks, and the therapist will monitor your progress to see how much your balance and mobility improve.
