About this study
Official title: Analysis of Gait Parameters After Therapy Using the Tilt-table Exercise and Motor Imagery - a Randomized Observational Study on Stroke Patients.
Sixty-six stroke patients were randomly assigned to three groups (conventional, with the addition of the Erigo®Pro table, and enriched with motor imagery). The Trunk Stability Test, walking speed, step symmetry, and lower limb load symmetry on the Riablo device, as well as the superficial tension of the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles, were assessed before and after completing therapy.
Read the detailed description
Sixty-six stroke patients were randomly assigned to three groups (conventional, with the addition of the Erigo®Pro table, and enriched with motor imagery). The Trunk Stability Test, walking speed, step symmetry, and lower limb load symmetry on the Riablo device, as well as the superficial tension of the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles, were assessed before and after completing therapy.
Results: In each of the groups studied, the therapies used significantly improved the functional assessment of trunk stability (Trunk Control Test <0.001)). Additionally, after the intervention, the Erigo group showed a greater gait speed (p=0.003), while the Visualization group exhibited a higher level of tension in the multifidus (p=0.011) and transverse abdominal muscles (p=0.002).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery on gait.Procedure or surgery
66 stroke patients were randomly assigned to three groups (22 people each) with different therapies (conventional, with the addition of Erigo®Pro and enriched with motor imagery). The therapy duration was two weeks. Patients underwent assessment before and after completion of therapy. The study used the Trunk Stability Test, and the Riablo device to measure gate parameters. Additionally, an evaluation of the superficial tension of the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles was conducted.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Sixty-six stroke patients were randomly assigned to three groups (conventional, with the addition of the Erigo®Pro table, and enriched with motor imagery). The Trunk Stability Test, walking speed, step symmetry, and lower limb load symmetry on the Riablo device, as well as the superficial tension of the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles, were assessed before and after completing therapy.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery on gait. and Conventional rehabilitation, the Erigo®Pro table, motor imagery on gait parameters. in people with Stroke and Visualization, run by Anna Olczak at 1 site in Poland.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Trunk Control Test (time frame: two weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Feb 2026.
