Explorations of the Benefits of the ZeroG TRiP System to Improve Balance in Patients Following Stroke

The BWSS control group interventions consisted of various balance activities, including: marching, side-stepping, retro-ambulation, step-taps, and step-ups. The BWSS control group also practiced various gait tasks, including: ambulation over the ground, going up and down stairs, and performing sit-to-stand transitions.

"The BWSS with balance perturbations group conducted the same balance and gait activities as the control group, including: marching, side-stepping, retro-ambulation, step-taps, step-ups, ambulation over the ground, going up and down stairs, and performing sit-to-stand transitions.In addition, this arm will receive eight balance perturbations, two in each direction (lateral, anterior, and posterior) each session. BWSS-P participants will start at perturbation level one and progress up to level ten as appropriate. Each session, the perturbation level will be set based on the participant's progress."
