Effect of Shoulder Sling Use on Balance and Mobility in Subacute Stroke Patients
Sponsor: Arnaoutis Stylianos
Summary
This study examines whether wearing a shoulder sling can improve balance and mobility in people who are recovering from a stroke. Participants will perform simple movement and balance tests twice-once with the sling and once without. The goal is to find out if using the sling helps patients feel more stable and safe during walking and everyday activities.
