Effect of optokinetic stimulation on weight-bearing shift in standing and sitting positions in stroke patients.

CONCLUSIONS: OKS could induce a significant shift in weight balance in patients with hemiplegia after stroke who are incapable of independent standing, suggesting that the OKS approach can be applied to a broader spectrum of patients, including those with more severe symptoms. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: OKS approach would improve exercise training in the early phase of rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia after stroke.
