A recent study conducted in Barcelona, Spain, examined the effects of motor relearning on balance and postural control in stroke patients. The study included 63 subacute stroke patients who were randomly assigned to either receive task-specific training based on motor relearning or conventional physical therapy. The results showed that the group receiving motor relearning training exhibited significantly larger improvements in balance and postural control compared to the group receiving conventional physical therapy. These improvements were sustained at the 3-month follow-up. The study suggests that motor relearning training may enhance motor learning and neural plasticity, leading to better functional outcomes for stroke patients. However, the study's open-label design represents a limitation, and further research with adequate blinding is needed. [Extracted from the article] |
