BACKGROUND: Balance-based torso-weighting has improved gait and balance performance in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) in a single session with torso-weights on, demonstrating an orthotic effect. Daily use of torso-weighting may promote motor lea

BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) may affect balance differently. However, no studies have compared loss of balance (LOB) patterns following multi-directional perturbations. OBJECTIVE: 1) determine reliability of LOB

Objectives People with cerebellar ataxia have few options to improve the standing stability they need for function. Strategic placement of light weights on the torso using the balance‐based torso‐weighting (BBTW) method has improved stability and

Background: In people with multiple sclerosis (MS), common gait and balance impairments can lead to falls, fear of falling, activity restriction, and social isolation. Sensory augmentation in the form of torso-weighting has resulted in improvement in

Despite the well-known benefits of using standardized outcome measures (OMs) in clinical practice, a variety of barriers interfere with their use. In particular, rehabilitation therapists lack sufficient knowledge in selecting appropriate OMs. The ch
