Recovery process of vertical perception and activities of daily living in stroke patients: A retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Clarifications regarding the recovery process of the subjective postural vertical (SPV) and activities of daily living in stroke patients are required to help clinicians determine treatment plans. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the characteristics of the longitudinal recovery process of SPV and activities of daily living after stroke.

Methods: Overall, 109 patients with stroke were enrolled.

Efficacy of sitting balance training with delayed visual feedback among patients with stroke: a randomized crossover clinical trial.

[Purpose] This study aimed to determine the effect of delayed visual feedback on the center of pressure and sitting balance in patients with stroke. [Participants and Methods] This was a single-blinded, randomized crossover trial. The duration of each intervention in real-time visual feedback and delayed visual feedback conditions while sitting on the platform was five days.

Efficacy of lateral truncal tilt training with a wedge on postural vertical and activities of daily living in recovery phase after stroke: A randomized crossover trial.

Background: The subjective postural vertical (SPV) is affected by training that requires participants to maintain balance; training to achieve sitting balance may also help SPV recovery and activities of daily living (ADLs).

Objective: This study aimed to assess the medium-term effects of balance training on the postural vertical (PV) and ADLs in patients with stroke.

Methods: Thirty-three patients with stroke were enrolled in this randomized crossover trial.
