Balance is a somewhat ambiguous term used to describe the ability to maintain or move within a weight-bearing posture without falling. Balance can further be broken down into three aspects: steadiness, symmetry, and dynamic stability. All of these components of balance (steadiness, symmetry, and dynamic stability) have been found to be disturbed following stroke. Furthermore research has demonstrated moderate relationships between balance function and gait speed, independence, dressing, wheelchair mobility, and reaching. The result of balance training could affect the whole function recovery. So more and more people pay close attention to balance training.Now, there are two methods about balance training, the Bobath balance training and force platform biofeedback systems (balance master) . As far as their effects are concern, effectiveness is sure by most researcher. But there are different views on which is better.In order to study the effect of balance master training and the Bobath balance training in balance and mobility about hemiplegic stroke patients, we had the subjects assigned randomly to either an experimental group or a control group. Balance master feedback balance training was used in the experimental group, and the Bobath balance training was used in the control group. Subjects were assessed using the Berg Balance...
