Visual cue training to improve walking and turning after stroke: a study protocol for a multi-centre, single blind randomised pilot trial - Hollands KL, Pelton T, Wimperis A, Whitham D, Jowett S, Sackley C, Alan W, Van Vliet P.
BACKGROUND: Visual information comprises one of the most salient sources of information used to control walking and the dependence on vision to maintain dynamic stability increases following a stroke. We hypothesize, therefore, that rehabilitation efforts ...

Gait training with real-time augmented toe-ground clearance information decreases tripping risk in older adults and a person with chronic stroke - Begg RK, Tirosh O, Said CM, Sparrow WA, Steinberg N, Levinger P, Galea MP.
Falls risk increases with ageing but is substantially higher in people with stroke. Tripping-related balance loss is the primary cause of falls, and Minimum Toe Clearance (MTC) during walking is closely linked to tripping risk. The aim of this study was to...

Correlations between Berg balance scale and gait speed in individuals with stroke wearing ankle-foot orthoses - a pilot study - Kobayashi T, Leung AK, Akazawa Y, Hutchins SW.
PURPOSE: The Berg balance scale (BBS) is commonly used to assess balancing ability in patients with stroke. The BBS may be a good candidate for clinical assessment prior to orthotic intervention, if it correlates well with outcome measures such as gait spe...

Do improvements in balance relate to improvements in long-distance walking function after stroke? - Awad LN, Reisman DS, Binder-Macleod SA.
Stroke survivors identify a reduced capacity to walk farther distances as a factor limiting their engagement at home and in community. Previous observational studies have shown that measures of balance ability and balance self-efficacy are strong predictor...

Serotonergic correlation with anger and aggressive behavior in acute stroke patients: an intensity dependence of auditory evoked potentials (IDAP) study - Toscano M, Viganò A, Puledda F, Verzina A, Rocco A, Lenzi GL, Di Piero V.
Anger and aggressive behavior (AB) are two of the main post-stroke behavioral manifestations, which could imply both an anger trait (TA) or a state condition of anger (SA). Serotonergic system is thought to play an inhibitory control on aggressive impulse....
