Study Description

DESIGN: randomized observational study. SETTING: A hospital Rehabilitation Department. POPULATION: Sixty-six post-stroke patients mean, 64.85 ± 18.62 years. METHODS: 66 stroke patients were randomly assigned to three groups (22 people each) with different therapies (conventional, with the addition of Erigo®Pro and enriched with motor imagery). The therapy duration was two weeks. Patients underwent assessment before and after completion of therapy. The study used the Trunk Stability Test, Berg Balance Scale to assess balance, as well as the Riablo device to measure static balance. Additionally, an evaluation of the superficial tension of the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles was conducted.
