After a stroke, one of the main problems we usually encounter is a lack of balance, both statically, difficulty standing, and dynamically, difficulty walking. Balance refers to the ability to stand up in a stable manner without falling. In static, the weight of our body should be distributed between both lower limbs to achieve correct balance. However, after a stroke, this ability is lost. Either because there is a lack of activity in the muscles of one half of the body (hemiparesis), or because there is an affectation of the area of the brain responsible for maintaining the position of our body in space. These types of exercises are aimed at patients who can stand up and will always be performed under the supervision of another person to avoid risks.
