The Effectiveness of Proprioceptive & Sensory Reweighing Training in Improving the Balance of Ambulatory Hemiplegics
Keywords:
Proprioceptive & Sensory, Reweighing TrainingAbstract
Balance control is a fundamental motor behavior in stance and gait that allows an individual to maintain and adopt various postures, react to external pertubations and use automatic postural responses that precede voluntary movements. Balance control requires the integration of visual, somatosensory, and vestibular inputs and their adaptations to changes in the environment and in the task being performed. Balance is described as the ability to maintain equilibrium in a gravitational field by keeping or returning the centre of mass of body over its base of support1
