Summary

This study looked at whether reactive balance training (RBT) — exercises that help you recover from a stumble — can also improve aerobic fitness and leg strength in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. 28 community-dwelling adults were enrolled to compare RBT against standard aerobic and strength training. The goal was to see if RBT could deliver similar fitness benefits while also improving balance and fall prevention.
