Relationship between asymmetry of quiet standing balance control and walking post-stroke - Hendrickson J, Patterson KK, Inness EL, McIlroy WE, Mansfield A.
Spatial and temporal gait asymmetry is common after stroke. Such asymmetric gait is inefficient, can contribute to instability and may lead to musculoskeletal injury. However, understanding of the determinants of such gait asymmetry remains incomplete. The...

Is impaired control of reactive stepping related to falls during inpatient stroke rehabilitation? - Mansfield A, Inness EL, Wong JS, Fraser JE, McIlroy WE.
Background. Individuals with stroke fall more often than age-matched controls. Although many focus on the multifactorial nature of falls, the fundamental problem is likely the ability for an individual to generate reactions to recover from a loss of balanc...

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 ...
