Among the 93 studies in Stroke with a site in Egypt, from their registry updates:
One of the leading causes of disability among the elderly is stroke. After a stroke, it is highly usual for lower extremity function, balance and trunk control to be compromised. After a stroke, trunk control is a crucial early predictor of functional recovery. Following a stroke, proximal trunk control is necessary for distal limb movement control, balance, and functional capacity.
Forty-five chronic stroke patients, ages 45 to 55, were divided into three equal groups for this randomized controlled study: GA consisted of 15 patients, GB of 15 patients, and GC of 15 patients each. Group A (the study group) received dual motor task training in addition to the selected physiotherapy program, Group B (the study group) received task-oriented training in addition to the selected physiotherapy program, and Group C only received the selected physiotherapy program for 12 weeks. All groups received treatment three times a week for twelve weeks, with each session lasting sixty minutes. The Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), Functional Reach Test (FRT), Biodex Balance System (BBS), and Fugl Meyer Lower Extremity (FM-LE) were used to evaluate each of the three groups pre and post treatments.

Exclusion Criteria:
received dual motor task training in addition to the selected physiotherapy program, three times a week for twelve weeks, with each session lasting sixty minutes.
Other: Dual task training · Other: Selected physiotherapy program
received task-oriented training in addition to the selected physiotherapy program, three times a week for twelve weeks, with each session lasting sixty minutes.
Other: Task-specific training · Other: Selected physiotherapy program
only received the selected physiotherapy program, three times a week for twelve weeks, with each session lasting sixty minutes.
Other: Selected physiotherapy program
Dual motor task training for 30 minutes. The dual motor training was divided into two phases. The first part involved a single task condition in which the stroke patient was instructed to stand up from a seated position at a self-selected speed without the use of upper limb assistance. Cognitive and physical tasks, is the second part of training. In addition to a 30-minute selected physiotherapy program.
Began with a highchair before switching to a low one. In addition to a 30-minute selected physiotherapy program.
Consisting of trunk control, trunk stabilization, balance training and lower extremity strengthening exercises (primarily for the hip adductors and abductors) for 60 minutes.

Ran from Jun 2025 to primary completion in Jul 2025, 1 month.
Of 3,108 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46. This study's 1 month is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,252 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46.
