Do quiet standing centre of pressure measures within specific frequencies differ based on ability to recover balance in individuals with stroke?

Falls risk is increased in individuals with stroke compared to age-matched healthy individuals, and falls are one of the most frequent complications experienced during post-stroke recovery (Batchelor et al., 2012). Up to 73% of individuals with stroke fall following their return to community living after discharge from rehabilitation (Weerdesteyn et al., 2008), and individuals with stroke are 2-4 times more likely to suffer a fall-related injury compared to age-matched controls (O’Loughlin et al., 1993; Graafmans et al., 1996; Jørgensen et al., 2002).
