“…However, the optimal exercise regimen for improving motor function after stroke remains to be determined. Evidence suggests that progressiveresistance (strength) training of the lower limbs may provide functional benefits [17][18]. Studies of upper-limb resistive exercises after stroke have examined finger strengthening rather than more proximal upper-limb resistance therapy [19][20].…”

Abstract-Robotics and related technologies have begun to realize their promise to improve the delivery of rehabilitation therapy. However, the mechanism by which they enhance recovery remains unclear. Ultimately, recovery depends on biology, yet the details of the recovery process remain largely unknown; a deeper understanding is important to accelerate refinements of robotic therapy or suggest new approaches. Fortunately, robots provide an excellent instrument platform from which to study recovery at the behavioral level. This article reviews some initial insights about the process of upper-limb behavioral recovery that have emerged from our work. Evidence to date suggests that the form of therapy may be more important than its intensity: muscle strengthening offers no advantage over movement training. Passive movement is insufficient; active participation is required. Progressive training based on measures of movement coordination yields substantially improved outcomes. Together these results indicate that movement coordination rather than muscle activation may be the most appropriate focus for robotic therapy.

Abstract. [Purpose] This study aimed to find the effect of spinal stabilization with visual feedback on the mobility of stroke survivors. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-one chronic stroke patients over 6 months since the onset of stroke were the subjects of this study. The experimental group performed a spinal stabilization exercise program for 30 minutes per day, 5 times per week, for a total of 8 weeks. The control group received conventional physiotherapy. The temporal and spatial gait parameters were measured using GAIT Rite (CIR System Inc, USA) instruments. [Results] There were significant differences between before and after the intervention in all spatiotemporal gait parameters of the experimental group, except the step length asymmetry ratio and the single support time asymmetry ratio. However, no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups when the pre-and post-intervention differences of the experimental group and the control group were compared. [Conclusion] This results of this study show that spinal stabilization with visual feedback is an effective intervention method for improving the mobility of chronic stroke patients.

“…Furthermore, Srivastava et al 6) conducted visual feedback balance training using force plates with 45 chronic stroke patients and reported that the patients' balance and ambulation capabilities improved significantly after the intervention. Weiss et al 7) reported increased leg muscle power, balance, and mobility after 12 weeks of gradual resistance exercise training using 70% weight of 1 RM of leg muscle. A recent study by Bastille and Gill-Body, 8) reported that mobility and balance was improved after chronic stroke patients at more than 9 months after onset performed yoga for 1 hour per 2 times per week for 8 weeks.…”

Abstract. [Purpose] This study aimed to find the effect of spinal stabilization with visual feedback on the balance of stroke survivors. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-one chronic stroke patients participated in the study. The experimental group underwent a spinal stabilization exercise program 30 minutes per day, 5 times per week, for a total of 8 weeks. The control group received conventional physiotherapy. The Berg balance scale, and the Timed up and go and Functional reach tests were performed to assess subjects's balance.[Results] There were significant differences between before and after the intervention in all balance parameters of the experimental group, but the control group showed no significant differences. A statistically significant difference was found between the two groups for the Timed up-and-go test.[Conclusion] The results of this study show that spinal stabilization with visual feedback is an effective intervention for improving the balance of chronic stroke patients.
