Postural Sway Measurement Using a Body-Worn Movement Sensor in Clinical Stroke Rehabilitation: Exploring Sensitivity to Change and Responsiveness
A novel approach to balance assessment in clinical stroke rehabilitation was investigated. It was found that while most participants improved in terms of functionality and independence, only a small percentage exhibited a significant change in postural sway. Therefore, postural sway may not effectively serve as an indicator of improved movement quality. This insight is crucial for both researchers and clinicians involved in neurorehabilitation.
