First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how a stroke survivor's sense of body position (proprioception) relates to their walking, balance, and reaction time. Researchers tested 132 first-time stroke patients and compared them to healthy volunteers using standard tests and rehabilitation robots. The goal was to better understand these connections to improve future rehabilitation.
