About this study

DESIGN: randomized observational study. SETTING: A hospital Rehabilitation Department. POPULATION: Sixty-six post-stroke patients mean, 64.85 ± 18.62 years. METHODS: 66 stroke patients were randomly assigned to three groups (22 people each) with different therapies (conventional, with the addition of Erigo®Pro and enriched with motor imagery). The therapy duration was two weeks. Patients underwent assessment before and after completion of therapy. The study used the Trunk Stability Test, Berg Balance Scale to assess balance, as well as the Riablo device to measure static balance. Additionally, an evaluation of the superficial tension of the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles was conducted.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • patients 6-8 weeks post-stroke, 2) aged 38-85 years, mean, 3) males and females, 4) walking with or without assistance (modified Rankin scale = 3), 5) with slight neurological deficits (NIHSS ≤7).

Exclusion criteria

  • stroke up to six weeks after the episode, 2) epilepsy, 3) no possibility to sit and stand, 4) persistent deficit of speech and cognitive functions, lack of attention, 5) visual disturbances, 6) depression, 7) high or very low blood pressure, dizziness, malaise.
