neurodevelopmental treatment is the most popular treatment approach used in stroke …

The relationships between perception of verticality by different sensory modalities,
lateropulsion and pushing behaviour and lesion location were investigated in 86 patients …

Internal models serve sensory processing, sensorimotor integration and motor control. They
could be a way to construct and update a sense of verticality, by combining vestibular and …

OBJECTIVE: To establish whether bilateral standing with visual feedback therapy after
stroke improves postural control compared with conventional therapy and to evaluate the …

We inherently maintain a stable perception of the world despite frequent changes in the
head, eye, and body positions. Such “orientation constancy” is a prerequisite for coherent …

About 80 papers dealing with verticality after stroke have been published in the last 20
years. Here we reviewed the reasons and findings that explain why measuring verticality …
