“…Delay in acquisition of neck orthotopic response affects the development of the muscular strength and limits the activity of the neck muscles supporting the head as well as the lack of stability of the head, resulting in a lack of head control6 ) . This reduces the ability to maintain one’s center of gravity and affects orientating responses and equilibrium reactions, thereby causing serious problems with balance ability8 ) .…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this case series was to examination the effects of trunk and neck stabilization exercise on the static, dynamic trunk balance abilities of children with cerebral palsy. [Subjects and Methods] The study included 11 school aged children diagnosed with paraplegia due to a premature birth. Each child engaged in exercise treatments twice per week for eight weeks; each treatment lasted for 45 minutes. After conducting a preliminary assessment, exercise treatments were designed based on each child’s level of functioning. Another assessment was conducted after the eight weeks of treatment. [Results] The Trunk Control Measurement Scale evaluation showed that the exercise treatments had a significant effect on static sitting balance, selective movement control, dynamic reaching, and total Trunk Control Measurement Scale scores. [Conclusion] The results indicate that neck and trunk stabilization exercises that require children’s active participation are helpful for improving static and dynamic balance ability among children diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

“…Stroke survivors have known balance and stepping impairments following small balance disturbances including delayed and diminished muscle activation (Badke and Duncan 1983, Diener, Dichgans et al 1984, Dietz and Berger 1984, Diener, Ackermann et al 1985, Ikai, Kamikubo et al 2003, Marigold, Eng et al 2004, Marigold and Eng 2006), abnormal muscle activation patterns (Badke and Duncan 1983, Di Fabio 1987), decreased control of the trunk (Marigold and Eng 2006), and asymmetrical weight bearing (Mansfield and Maki 2009, Mansfield, Inness et al 2011). The extent to which these characteristics contribute to falls is unknown.…”

“…The extent to which these characteristics contribute to falls is unknown. With few exceptions, falls literature in stroke has related metrics of static balance (stepping did not occur) and impairment (clinical metrics) to fall outcomes in the acute care setting and community (Ikai, Kamikubo et al 2003, Marigold, Eng et al 2004, Marigold, Eng et al 2004, Marigold and Eng 2006, Weerdesteyn, Niet et al 2008, Divani, Majidi et al 2011, Persson, Hansson et al 2011). However, it is not known if these metrics are appropriate predictors following postural disturbances that require stepping to avoid falling.…”

Falls are the most common and expensive medical complication in stroke survivors. There is remarkably little information about what factors lead to a fall in stroke survivors. With few exceptions, the falls literature in stroke has focused on relating metrics of static balance and impairment to fall outcomes in the acute care setting or in community. While informative, these studies provide little information about what specific impairments in a stroke-survivor’s response to dynamic balance challenges lead to a fall. We identified the key kinematic characteristics of stroke survivors’ stepping responses following a balance disturbance that are associated with a fall following dynamic balance challenges. Stroke survivors were exposed to posteriorly-directed translations of a treadmill belt that elicited a stepping response. Kinematics were compared between successful and failed recovery attempts (i.e. a fall). We found that the ability to arrest and reverse trunk flexion and the ability to perform an appropriate initial compensatory step were the most critical response contributors to a successful recovery. We also identified 2 compensatory strategies utilized by stroke survivors to avoid a fall. Despite significant post-stroke functional impairments, the biomechanical causes of trip-related falls by stroke survivors appear to be similar to those of unimpaired older adults and lower extremity amputees. However, compensatory strategies (pivot, hopping) were observed.

As gait and balance function is closely related to performance in everyday life, it must be sure that gait and balance function is always improved2, 3 ) . Through training for developing balancing ability of patients with stroke, it can boost physical functions such as by increasing physical ability, preventing falling and improving ability of controlling posture2,3,4 ) .…”

[Purpose] This study aims to verify the effects of visual control whole body vibration exercise on balance and gait function of stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 22 stroke patients were randomly assigned to two groups; 11 to the experimental group and 11 to the control group. Both groups received 30 minutes of Neuro-developmental treatment 5 times per week for 4 weeks. The experimental group additionally performed 10 minutes of visual control whole body vibration exercise 5 times per week during the 4 weeks. Balance was measured using the Functional Reach Test. Gait was measured using the Timed Up and Go Test. [Results] An in-group comparison in the experimental group showed significant differences in the Functional Reach Test and Timed Up and Go Test. In comparing the groups, the Functional Reach Test and Timed Up and Go Test of the experimental group were more significantly different compared to the control group. [Conclusion] These results suggest that visual control whole body vibration exercise has a positive effect on the balance and gait function of stroke patients.

Abstract: The results suggest that patients with hemiparesis tend to fall easily and that the risk of falls toward the paretic side is high.
