The present results suggest that plantar cutaneous sensation deficits contribute to balance impairment post-stroke. The monofilament cutoff score may help clinicians determine whether impaired plantar cutaneous sensation is a contributing factor to a patient's balance deficits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
