Summary

"Stroke is a major cause of disability worldwide, often leading to balance impairments due to deficits in sensory integration and motor control. These impairments hinder postural stability and functional independence, making balance rehabilitation a critical focus in sub-acute stroke care.

Detailed description

The objective of this study is to determine the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) for the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (CTSIB) in individuals with sub-acute stroke rehabilitation. CTSIB evaluates the sensory contributions (visual, vestibular, and somatosensory) to balance by testing an individual's ability to maintain stability under various conditions. Additionally, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) will be used to assess functional balance, and the Global Rating of Change (GRC) will be included as a subjective measure to gauge participants' perceived improvement in balance and functional performance.
