What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
time pressureOther
a set of alternative cognitive strategies that allow patients in real-life tasks to compensate for their mental slowness
step square exerciseOther
is a form of highly specific balance training for falls prevention which directly addresses stepping capacity-a commonly executed protective strategy for maintaining balance in the everyday environment
functional care trainingOther
Intensive functional endurance, strength, and balance exercises, and selected physical therapy interventions for balance
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| study group | Experimental | Time Pressure motor management with step square exercise Receives: Other: time pressure; Other: step square exercise; Other: functional care training |
| control group | Experimental | conventional treatment Receives: Other: functional care training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The Trail Making Test
he Trail Making Test for assessing decision making ability
Measured: four weeks
Stroke Specific Quality of Life
The Stroke Specific Quality Of Life scale (SS-QOL) is a patient-centered outcome measure intended to provide an assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) specific to patients with stroke.
Measured: four weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
Mini-Mental State Exam
Mini-Mental State Exam: that tests five areas of cognitive function: orientation, registration, attention and calculation, recall, and language.
Measured: four weeks
The Functional Independence Measure
The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is an instrument that was developed as a measure of disability for a variety of populations and is not specific to any diagnosis.
Measured: four weeks

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?
The Trail Making Test (time frame: four weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Jul 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
