Balance Exercises Following A Stroke

Balance Exercises Help Individuals After A Stroke

The incidence of strokes occurring in America is on the rise. Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, and impaired balance after stroke is strongly associated with future function and recovery. Until recently there has been limited evidence to
support the use of balance exercises to improve balance performance in this population. One of the complications of a stroke is weakness in one side of the body as well as balance problems standing and walking. Research has shown that balance exercises can help improve balance following a stroke. Lubetzky-Vilnai A. and Kartin D. did a review of research to evaluate recent evidence related to the effect of balance exercises on balance performance among individuals poststroke across the continuum of recovery.

Results Of Balance Exercises Following A Stroke

We found moderate evidence that balance performance can be improved following individual, "one-on-one" balance exercises for participants in the acute stage of stroke, and either one-on-one balance exercises or group therapy for participants with subacute or chronic stroke. Moderate evidence also suggests that in the acute stage, intensive balance exercises for 2 to 3 times per week may be sufficient. Conclusions: This review supports the use of balance exercises to improve balance performance for individuals with moderately severe stroke.
