Summary

This study looked at how clenching your jaw or having an uneven bite affects balance and the risk of falling in people who have had a stroke. Sixty stroke survivors completed balance tests on special platforms while researchers measured their stability. The goal was to understand these simple mouth movements might influence fall risk, which could lead to better fall prevention strategies.
