Abstract
Even subjects with severe stroke who are selected for inpatient rehabilitation are able to improve their speed and precision of weight shifting by reducing the weight-transfer time toward both legs in a proportionate manner. The observed correlations between weight shifting and quiet standing indicate that the assessment of weight-shifting capacity provides unique information about balance recovery after stroke.
