An interventional study of Cognitive postural training and Conventional physical therapy program in Hemineglect After Stroke, sponsored by Ahram Canadian University. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 45 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-14.
Sponsored by Ahram Canadian University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This randomized controlled trial investigates the effect of Cognitive Postural Training (CPT) on postural stability and cognitive function in patients with hemispatial neglect following stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Cognitive Postural Training combined with conventional balance training or conventional balance training alone. Training will be provided three times per week for four weeks. The effects of the intervention on cognitive function, hemispatial neglect, postural stability, balance, and functional independence will be evaluated.

Exclusion Criteria:
21) Other brain injuries/illnesses, psychiatric, sever cognitive impairment, severe sensory or proprioceptive loss.
22) Other causes of cognitive dysfunction. 23) Severe apraxia, severe aphasia. 24) Drugs that affect balance or cognition 25) Ankle disorders (e.g.sprain), vestibular disorder 26) ophthalmic disorders, homonymous hemianopsia 27) Progressive neurological disease (e.g., dementia)
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Short tests of memory and thinking, each scored out of 30. Lower scores suggest more difficulty; criteria give a range, either to include people with memory problems or to leave them out.

CPT consisted of simultaneous performance of cognitive tasks and postural control activities to challenge cognitive-motor integration and postural stability. Cognitive tasks included verbal fluency (e.g., naming animals), mental sequencing (e.g., reciting the months of the year in reverse order), and route-description tasks. Training was progressively performed in different postural positions, including supine, sitting, sit-to-stand, and standing, according to the participant's abilities and level of postural control.
conventional balance training focuses on improving postural control, balance, and functional mobility. Training included static and dynamic balance exercises performed in different postural positions, including sitting, sit-to-stand, and standing. Exercises were progressed according to the participant's functional ability and balance performance and included weight-shifting activities, maintaining and changing the base of support, and functional balance activities.
