Each year, over 40 000 Canadians experience a stroke and approximately 40% of stroke survivors are left with moderate to severe impairment (1). Balance problems are common for stroke survivors and have been implicated with diminished function in activities of daily living (ADLs) and mobility and associated with an increased risk of falls(2). Stroke survivors have been shown to have greater postural sway and altered weight distribution patterns, especially when moving their weight in the direction of the affected lower extremity(3). These patterns have been seen in static and dynamic balance and at all levels of function(2, 3). Falls are commonly seen after stroke and even less serious falls may lead to stroke survivors developing a fear of falling and limiting activity(4).
