Sponsor's own description
The Investigator recently conducted a study in patients who had suffered from a stroke where it investigated whether similar findings are observed following a single session of chiropractic care.36 The key findings from this study was that in a group of chronic stroke patients, with lower limb muscle weakness, plantar flexion muscle strength increased on average by 64.6% following a chiropractic care session and the change in muscle strength appears to be modulated by cortical factors as opposed to modulation at the spinal level. Based on the promising results of this initial study now planning to perform a pragmatic pilot clinical trial that will investigate the effects of 4 weeks of chiropractic care on clinical measures associated with stroke rehabilitation and function
