Proprioceptive Training With or Without Strength Training on Tibialis Anterior in Chronic Stroke Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effects of proprioceptive training with and without tibialis anterior strength training in individuals with chronic stroke. Chronic stroke survivors commonly experience impaired balance, gait disturbances, reduced lower-limb muscle strength, and functional limitations that affect mobility and independence. The tibialis anterior muscle plays an important role in ankle dorsiflexion, foot clearance during walking, and postural stability. Participants with chronic stroke will be randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups. One group will receive proprioceptive training combined with tibialis anterior strength training, while the other group will receive proprioceptive training alone. Interventions will be administered over a six-week period. Outcomes related to muscle strength, balance, gait performance, and functional mobility will be assessed at baseline and during follow-up assessments. The study seeks to evaluate rehabilitation approaches targeting lower-limb motor and sensory impairments in individuals with chronic stroke and to contribute evidence regarding interventions designed to improve functional recovery and mobility.
