Abstract

Background and Purpose Impaired sitting balance is an important and time-consuming complication for stroke patients. We examined the effect of the use of an angular biofeedback device in addition to physical therapy in training stroke patients with impaired sitting balance compared with outcome in patients receiving conventional physical therapy only.
