Effects of Bobath treatment and specific mobilizations on gait in stroke patients: A randomized clinical trial.

Background: After a stroke, patients experience sensorimotor damage, balance disorders, loss of selective movement, hypotonia and/or hypertonia, and hypersensitivity, all of which affect gait.

Objective: The aim of the study was to establish the effectiveness of Bobath therapy with additional specific soft tissue mobilizations versus standard Bobath intervention.

Methods: Subjects were randomly divided into two groups (S1 and S2) of 20 people each.
