Overview

Pilot study demonstrates potential for using unexpected balance perturbations in chronic stroke individuals, suggesting improvements in stability.

Key Points

  • Participants who underwent reactive balance training showed improved stability during unexpected slips compared to control participants.
  • All unexpected slips were triggered as intended, indicating effective implementation of the perturbations in the study.
  • No increase in state anxiety was reported among participants, highlighting a positive response to unexpected slip perturbations.
  • Spatiotemporal and kinematic data revealed significant differences in walking features before and after training between groups.
