Peripheral somatosensory stimulation and postural recovery after stroke - a systematic review.

Conclusion PSS is found to be effective immediately and on a long-term as an adjuvant therapy only in improving postural stability in a chronic stroke population. However, if PSS enhances paretic leg postural contribution remains unclear. Future research is warranted considering promising results and high prevalence of postural instability impacting daily life of stroke survivors. PMID: 29473456 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
