Multisensory Augmentation for Post-stroke Standing Balance
Multisensory Augmentation to Improve the Standing Balance of People With Chronic Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Many individuals who experience a stroke have problems with their balance. In part, these balance problems may be due to sensory issues. This study will test whether sensory augmentation has the potential to improve post-stroke balance. Sensory augmentation is a method by which non-invasive vibration is used to enhance the sensory information available to users, which may make it easier to feel where they are and prevent losses of balance.
