Balance disorders are considered as a serious clinical manifestation after stroke. Therefore, to assess stroke individuals balance performance, using a quantitative method sounds essential. A fundamental step would be the approval of the efficiency of the measurement instruments. The current study was aimed to find out any correlation between the balance assessment examined by Biodex stability system (BSS) and the clinical Berg balance scale (BBS) in post-stroke hemiparesis.
