A review of standing balance recovery from stroke.
TLDR
The finding that brain lesions involving particularly the parieto-temporal junction are associated with poor postural control, suggests that normal sensory integration is critical for balance recovery.About:

Cortical control of postural responses.
Jesse V. Jacobs,Fay B. Horak +1 more
TL;DR: The cerebral cortex likely influences longer latency postural responses both directly via corticospinal loops and indirectly via communication with the brainstem centers that harbor the synergies for postural responding, thereby providing both speed and flexibility for pre-selecting and modifying environmentally appropriate responses to a loss of balance.

Falls in individuals with stroke
TL;DR: Preliminary evidence shows that task-specific exercise programs targeting balance and gait deficits can indeed reduce the number of falls in individuals with stroke, and technological advances in assistive devices are another promising area.

Standardized measurement of sensorimotor recovery in stroke trials: consensus-based core recommendations from the Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable
Gert Kwakkel,Natasha A. Lannin,Karen Borschmann,Coralie English,Myzoon Ali,Myzoon Ali,Leonid Churilov,Gustavo Saposnik,Carolee J. Winstein,Erwin E. H. van Wegen,Steven L. Wolf,John W. Krakauer,Julie Bernhardt +12 more
TL;DR: The results of a consensus meeting about measurement standards and patient characteristics that should be collected in all future stroke recovery trials are presented and a strong case is made for addition of kinematic and kinetic movement quantification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of a Wii balance board-based system (eBaViR) for balance rehabilitation: a pilot randomized clinical trial in patients with acquired brain injury
TL;DR: The results suggest that eBaViR represents a safe and effective alternative to traditional treatment to improve static balance in the ABI population and have encouraged the virtual treatment with new exercises, so an evolution of the system is currently being developed.

Dynamical structure of center-of-pressure trajectories in patients recovering from stroke
Melvyn Roerdink,M. de Haart,Andreas Daffertshofer,Stella F. Donker,A. C. H. Geurts,Peter J. Beek +5 more
TL;DR: The progressively less regular COP trajectories were interpreted to indicate a reduction of cognitive involvement in postural control as recovery from stroke progressed, and show a clear surplus value of dynamical measures in studying posturalcontrol.

Attention and the control of posture and gait: a review of an emerging area of research
TL;DR: New clinical assessment methods incorporating dual-task paradigms are helpful in revealing the effect of disease on the ability to allocate attention to postural tasks and appear to be sensitive measures in both predicting fall risk and in documenting recovery of stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unified theory regarding A/P and M/L balance in quiet stance
TL;DR: Control of posture in quiet stance has been quantified by center of pressure (COP) changes in the anterior-posterior (A/P) and medial-lateral (M/L) directions from a single force platform by identifying the muscle groups responsible at the ankle and hip in any of the stance positions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Limb Movements in Maintaining Upright Stance: The “Change-in-Support” Strategy
Brian E. Maki,William E. McIlroy +1 more
TL;DR: Increased understanding and awareness of change-in-support reactions should lead to development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for detecting and treating specific causes of imbalance and falling in elderly people and in patients with balance impairments.

Incidence and consequences of falls due to stroke: a systematic inquiry.
Anne Forster,John Young +1 more
TL;DR: Stroke is associated with a risk of falling at home and affects the lives of patients with stroke and their carers and falling and fear of falling is an important issue which needs to be dealt with by the multidisciplinary team.

Postural sway biofeedback: its effect on reestablishing stance stability in hemiplegic patients.
TL;DR: Postural sway abnormalities in hemiplegic patients included significant mean lateral displacement of sway towards the nonaffected leg and increased total sway area, which was associated with increased loading of the affected leg.
