Falls are one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in older adults. Every year, an
estimated 30–40% of patients over the age of 65 will fall at least once. Falls lead to …

Introduction. Improvement of postural stability is an important goal during poststroke
rehabilitation. Since weight‐bearing asymmetry (WBA) towards the nonparetic leg is …

Objective To determine if reactive balance control measures predict falls after discharge
from stroke rehabilitation. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Rehabilitation hospital …

Balance problems are a major sequelae of stroke and are implicated in poor recovery of
activities of daily living. In a cross-sectional study, using 50-channel event-related functional …

Background Falls are more prevalent in stroke survivors than age-matched healthy older
adults because of their functional impairment. Rapid balance recovery reaction with …

Hemiparetic stroke patients commonly bear more weight on the non-paretic side which
seems intuitively linked to unilateral control deficits. However, there is evidence that some …

Background. The relationships between motor impairment of the affected leg, postural
control asymmetry, and impaired body sway control after stroke are not well understood …

Assessment of balance control is essential to guide physical rehabilitation poststroke.
However, current observational assessment tools available to physiotherapists provide …

Despite the promise of powered lower limb prostheses, existing controllers do not assist
many daily activities that require continuous control of prosthetic joints according to human …

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of mental fatigue on postural sway under
different sensory conditions in healthy older adults and in persons with chronic stroke …
