Immediate effect of adding mirror visual feedback to lateral weight-shifting training on the standing balance control of the unilateral spatial neglect model.

[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the immediate effect of adding mirror visual feedback to lateral weight-shifting training on the standing balance control of the left unilateral spatial neglect model. [Participants and Methods] We included 64 healthy participants to create left unilateral spatial neglect models and divided them into four subgroups. Each subgroup received opposite lateral weight-shifting training with or without mirror visual feedback.

Effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions in brain plasticity, balance and functional ability in stroke survivors: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Brain injuries such as strokes cause damage and death of the neuron cells. Physiotherapy interventions help to improve patient's performance and ability. However, this is only theorized but the impact of the physiotherapy intervention on brain plasticity is not known.

The Effectiveness of Early Mobilization Time on Balance and Functional Ability after Ischemic Stroke.

Background: Early mobilisation (EM) after-ischemic stroke is a motor learning intervention aimed to restore nerve cells and to improve balance and functional ability. Unfortunately, the study of when this intervention began has not been widely studied.

Aim: On this study was compared the effect of EM started at 24 hours and 48 hours after an ischemic stroke on balance and functional ability.
