Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the impact of perturbation-based balance training with and without functional electrical stimulation on balance and coordination in stroke survivors.
Randomized controlled trial with 35 ambulatory individuals post-stroke for 6 months or longer.
Participants were divided into groups receiving either perturbation-based balance training alone or with functional electrical stimulation.
Clinical performance and neuromuscular coordination were evaluated over time.
PBBT significantly improved mobility, gait coordination, and reactive balance stability.
No additional benefits from the inclusion of functional electrical stimulation were observed in group-level outcomes.

We only have this paper's title and publication details.

Randomized trial assesses balance and coordination improvements in chronic stroke individuals with training and stimulation.
