Effects of a 12-month task-specific balance training on the balance status of stroke survivors with and without cognitive impairments in selected hospitals in Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria - Okonkwo UP, Ibeneme SC, Ihegihu EY, Egwuonwu AV, Ezema CI, Maruf FA.
BACKGROUND: Stroke results in varying levels of physical disabilities that may adversely impact balance with increased tendency to falls. This may intensify with cognitive impairments (CI), and impede functional recovery. Therefore, task-specific balance ...

Does a perturbation based gait intervention enhance gait stability in fall prone stroke survivors? A pilot study - Punt M, Bruijn SM, van de Port IG, de Rooij IJM, Wittink H, van Dieen JH.
A recent review indicated that perturbation based training (PBT) interventions are effective in reducing falls in older adults and patients with Parkinson's disease. It is unknown whether this type of intervention is effective in stroke survivors. We deter...

The effects of a community-based walking program on walking ability and fall-related self-efficacy of chronic stroke patients - Lee JM, Moon HH, Lee SK, Lee HL, Park YJ.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of community-based walking training (CWT) on the walking ability and fall-related self-efficacy of chronic stroke patients and compare the effects of CWT to the conventional walking programs in stro...

The development and feasibility of treadmill-induced fall recovery training applied to individuals with chronic stroke - Pigman J, Reisman DS, Pohlig RT, Wright TR, Crenshaw JR.
BACKGROUND: Exercise has failed to reduce falls in those with chronic stroke. A limitation of traditional exercise is that the motor responses needed to prevent a fall are not elicited (i.e. they lack processing specificity). Balance reactions often requir...

Early body weight-supported overground walking training in patients with stroke in subacute phase compared to conventional physiotherapy: a randomized controlled pilot study - Brunelli S, Iosa M, Fusco FR, Pirri C, Di Giunta C, Foti C, Traballesi M.
Among the new rehabilitation strategies aimed at improving independent walking after stroke, the body weight-support training allows an early and controlled ambulatory training. To date, most available studies are based on treadmill body weight-support (BW...

Effects of visual feedback training using transient Fresnel prism glasses on balance ability in stroke patients without hemispatial neglect - Ha SY, Kim SY, Sung YH.
The center of mass of the body in patients with stroke was oriented toward the nonparetic side. Abnormal weight shift increases the risk of falls. Therefore, many therapists make an effort to help their functional recovery through balance training. Our aim...

Improvements in balance reaction impairments following reactive balance training in individuals with sub-acute stroke: a prospective cohort study with historical control - Schinkel-Ivy A, Huntley AH, Danells CJ, Inness EL, Mansfield A.
Background: Reactive balance training (RBT) has been previously found to reduce fall risk in individuals with sub-acute stroke; however, our understanding of the effects of RBT on specific balance impairments is lacking.Objective: To quantify...
