The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding new technologies to standard therapy helps people recover after a stroke. It looks at adults aged 18 to 74 who recently had a stroke and need help with moving and walking.
The main questions the study aims to answer are:
Does adding anti-gravity treadmill training to standard physical therapy improve balance and walking ability? Does adding high-intensity electromagnetic therapy to the treadmill program further help lower muscle stiffness and improve movement? Are these combined exercise treatments safe for the participants?
Researchers will compare three groups of participants to see which combination works best:
Group 1 receives standard physical therapy and anti-gravity treadmill training. Group 2 receives standard physical therapy, anti-gravity treadmill training, and electromagnetic therapy.
Group 3 receives standard physical therapy only.
Participants will:
Complete standard physical and daily living therapy for three to four hours a day, five days a week.
Exercise on a special treadmill that uses air pressure to support their body weight (Groups 1 and 2 only).
Receive a 15-minute electromagnetic stimulation treatment on their leg muscles 10 times over two weeks (Group 2 only).
Take movement, balance, and walking tests at the start and at the end of the two-week program.
