Abstract | Regaining of walking ability is one of the main goals of rehabilitation following stroke. An important aspect of bipedal locomotion is efficient balancing of the trunk. In this paper we present novel methodology for dynamic balance training during standing and stepping in commercially available mechanical balance training device. A case study involving a single subject with chronic hemiparesis investigated effeets of proposed dynamic balance training that lasted for two-weeks with two half an hour training sessions per day. Instrumented kineziological evaluation of subject š gait indicated important improvement in subject's postural control during walking. | |
