Ankle joint is one of important contributors on balance in stroke survivors. This study aimed
to investigate the relationships of ankle stiffness symmetry ratios along the talocrural and …

Proprioceptive signals about ankle motion are essential for the control of balance and gait.
However, objective, accurate methods for testing ankle motion sense in clinical settings are …

Objectives The primary aim is to investigate the effect of the trunk, upper extremity, and lower
extremity functions on activities of daily living (ADL), balance, and gait. The second aim is to …

We aimed to determine early predictors of balance function (Berg Balance Scale, BBS) at 3
and 6 months after stroke using clinical, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging variables …

Background Although the ankle strategy is important for achieving frontal plane stability
during one-leg stance, previously developed powered ankle–foot orthoses (PAFOs) did not …

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common musculoskeletal condition that affects
dynamic balance control and increases the risk of falling during walking. However, the …

Background and objective Balance and trunk control are major concerns among older adults
during stroke rehabilitation. Loss of proprioception in the affected limb has a greater …

Background Proprioception is important for our everyday activity, as it indicates the position,
movement, and force on the body. This is important not only for ambulation but also for …

Aim The aim of this study was to analyze the TRE in three directions including forward
flexion, lateral flexion to the hemiparetic side, and rotation to the hemiparetic side in patients …

BACKGROUND: Daily step-count is important post-insult in the subacute phase to influence
neuroplasticity, functional recovery and as a predictive factor for activity level one-year post …
