The Effect of Multi-sensorimotor training on proprioception and balance in stroke patients
- Conditions
- Diseases of the nervous system
- Registration Number
- KCT0003097
- Lead Sponsor
- Gachon University
- Brief Summary
This study provides evidence that combined rehabilitation methods significantly enhance the proprioception and balance ability during the chronic phase of recovery from stroke. Therapists play an important role in achieving the maximum benefit through an entire rehabilitation process, from acute to subacute and to the chronic status of stroke. They have systematically evaluated the optimal intensity and duration of specific interventions. Therefore, combining valuable trainings to input multiple senses is believed to be a good method to facilitate the restoration of proprioception and balance ability.
