A systematic review of perturbation-based balance training on reducing fall risk among individuals with stroke - Brown D, Simpkins C, Yang F.
BACKGROUND: Perturbation-based balance training has been proven effective to reduce falls in older adults. However, it remains inconclusive if this training paradigm reduces falls in the stroke population. This review sought to summarize the existing liter...
