Abstract(s)

Background: As mechanisms of gaze stability, both visual stabilization and the vestibulo-ocular reflex are needed to coordinate the movements of the head, trunk, and pelvis during walking. Balance impairment after stroke is strongly associated with more severely impaired motor function, a decrease in recovery potential, and an increase in the number of falls. Purpose: To verify the efficacy of a domiciliary training program to improve balance impairment due to stroke in senior patients.
