The aim of this study is to compare the time-course changes in neurologic impairments
(trunk control, motor function, sensory, and cognition) and recovery in functional impairments …

Background. Trunk function is important for standing balance, mobility, and functional
outcome after stroke, but few studies have evaluated the effects of exercises aimed at …
