Protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial investigating the effectiveness of Fast muscle Activation and Stepping Training (FAST) for improving balance and mobility in sub-acute stroke - Miller KJ, Hunt MA, Pollock CL, Bryant D, Garland S.
BackgroundFollowing stroke, many people have difficulty activating their paretic muscles quickly and with sufficient power to regain their balance by taking quick and effective steps. Reduced dynamic balance and mobility following stroke, or 'walking balan...

Visual scanning training for neglect after stroke with and without a computerized lane tracking dual task - van Kessel ME, Geurts AC, Brouwer WH, Fasotti L.
Neglect patients typically fail to explore the contralesional half-space. During visual scanning training, these patients learn to consciously pay attention to contralesional target stimuli. It has been suggested that combining scanning training with metho...

A cognitive-balance control training paradigm using Wii Fit to reduce fall risk in chronic stroke survivors - Subramaniam S, Wan-Ying Hui-Chan C, Bhatt T.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:: The impaired ability to maintain balance while performing higher-level cognitive tasks (cognitive-motor interference) significantly predisposes stroke survivors to risk of falls. We investigated adherence and intervention-related e...

The effect of underwater gait training on balance ability of stroke patients - Park SW, Lee KJ, Shin DC, Shin SH, Lee MM, Song CH.
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of underwater treadmill gait training on the balance ability of stroke patients. [Subjects] Twenty-two patients with stroke were randomly assigned to an underwater treadmill group (n =11) o...

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...

Clinical feasibility of the Nintendo Wii™ for balance training post-stroke: a phase II randomized controlled trial in an inpatient setting - Bower KJ, Clark RA, McGinley JL, Martin CL, Miller KJ.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility and potential efficacy of the Nintendo Wii™ for balance rehabilitation after stroke.DESIGN:Phase II, single-blind, randomized controlled trial.Setting:Inpatient rehabilitation facility.Subjects:Thirty adul...

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 ...
