Stroke is the leading cause of adult neurological disabilities. Impaired postural control has great impact on independence of activities of daily living and gait. The recovery of postural control it’s a critical component of the motor behavior. Tailoring an efficient therapeutic approach depends on appropriate evaluation of specific needs. The aim of this presentation is to review the main postural abnormalities and the different tools that can be used to evaluate balance in hemiparetic patients with stroke. Our learning objectives for this presentation ae:
