“…We found all three BESTest measures to correlate moderately with the TUG (r = À0.60 to À0.68) which falls within the range of correlations previously demonstrated between other performance-based balance tests and the TUG in older adults (r = À0.69 to À0.83) [23]. We also found moderate to high correlations between the BESTest measures and the SLS (r = 0.67-0.77), consistent with previous work showing a similar associations between the SLS and another multi-item dynamic balance test in older adults with chronic stroke (r = 0.65-0.79) [24]. The full BESTest and brief-BESTest have not previously been studied in relation to the TUG or SLS, but the mini-BESTest has been shown to be associated with both in individuals with chronic stroke [25].…”

“…This was 1.71 (out of 56) higher than the control group's score of 1.36. The MDC of BBS was known to be lying between 2.5 and 4.13 (Liston and Brouwer, 1996;Flansbjer et al, 2012). The highest score of BBS in this study was 43 score (out of 6, 9.8%) in this study.…”

| Abstract |1 )PURPOSE: The initiation of the trunk muscles in stroke patients is delayed because the muscles involved in reach arm are activated earlier than the trunk muscles. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of mobility, balance, and trunk control ability through selective trunk exercise (STE) in patients with chronic stroke. METHODS:A randomized pre-test and post-test control group design was initially used, with subjects randomly assigned to the STE group (n=15) and a control group (n=14).All groups underwent physical therapy based on the neuro-developmental therapy (NDT) for 30 minutes a day, five times per week for four weeks. Additionally, the STE group did the trunk exercise for 30 minutes a day, three times per week for four weeks. The timed up and go test (TUG), Berg balance scale (BBS), and trunk impairment scale (TIS) were used for assessment. RESULTS:The scores of the TUG, BBS, dynamic sitting balance subscale, and coordination subscale of TIS improved significantly in both groups but the improvement was more †Corresponding Author : daeric@konyang.ac.kr This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0) which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. pronounced in the STE group (p<.05). This study showed a large effect on the scores of the TIS coordination subscale (d=.93) (p<.05), TIS dynamic balance subscale (d=.81) (p<.05), TUG (d=.75) (p<.05), and BBS (d=.73) (p<.05). CONCLUSION:The combined STE and NDT program showed improvements in measures of mobility, balance, and trunk control in chronic stroke patients. These results suggest that STE should be considered to be included in the treatment program for patients with chronic stroke.

“…In previous studies, Flansbjer and colleagues 58,59 reported 95% CIs of the smallest real difference as -0.15 to 0.25m/s for comfortable walking speed, -3.4 to 4.9 points for the Berg Balance Scale and -3.8 to 2.6 seconds for the Timed Up and Go Test for individuals with chronic hemiparesis subsequent to stroke. Even though the smallest real difference is not an instrument to define clinical relevance, the fact that the noted effects were smaller than the smallest real difference limits the ability to conclude that these were real improvements.…”

Substituting some or all of a standard rehabilitation regimen with VRBR elicits greater benefits in walking speed, balance and mobility in people with stroke. Although the benefits are small, the extra cost of applying virtual reality to standard rehabilitation is also small, especially when spread over many patients in a clinic. Adding extra VRBR time to standard rehabilitation also has some benefits; further research is needed to determine if these benefits are clinically worthwhile.
