From astronauts to stroke survivors: how the TheraSuit Method® can boost balance and recovery.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The human body exhibits remarkable adaptability to diverse environments. Astronauts in microgravity experience physiological changes like those observed in stroke patients due to inactivity. This shared challenge inspires the exploration of rehabilitation methods, bridging the gap between space medicine and physical therapy. This perspective examines the physiological similarities between microgravity and stroke, focusing on proprioceptive deficits. We then introduce the axial loading suit astronauts use to counteract these deficits and its potential application in stroke rehabilitation. We propose the TheraSuit Method®, a suit utilizing similar principles, as a promising tool to enhance whole-body proprioception and facilitate muscle activation against gravity, thereby promoting strength and functional recovery in stroke patients.
