Helping Stroke Patients With Movement Using Photos, Videos, and Pictograms

South Korea50 participantsStarted 2025-09-06

Plain-language summary

The goal of this interventional study is to learn how different types of visual aids-photos, videos, and pictograms-help people with stroke understand and perform simple physical movements. The researcher wants to find out which type of visual aid is most helpful and easiest to understand for stroke rehabilitation. To take part, participants must be able to stand for at least one minute without help and understand simple instructions. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Which type of visual aid (photo, video, or pictogram) helps participants perform movements more accurately? * Which visual aid do participants find the easiest to understand and prefer? * How much mental effort (cognitive load) do participants feel when using each type of visual aid? * Do the effects of visual aids vary depending on stroke type, brain lesion location, or time since stroke? The researcher will compare how each type of visual aid affects movement performance and participants' responses. Participants will: * View three types of visual aids (photo, video, pictogram) and perform specific physical tasks based on each. * Have their movement performance recorded using a video camera. * Complete a short survey after the tasks to rate their understanding, preferences, and cognitive effort. * Take part in a single session that lasts about 20 minutes in a quiet room within the hospital.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
