Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate how trunk control and proprioception affect balance and spasticity in post-stroke individuals.
  • Analyzed the relationships between trunk control, cervical proprioception, and trunk proprioception.
  • Assessed static and dynamic balance capabilities in patients post-stroke.
  • Evaluated levels of spasticity related to proprioceptive awareness.
  • Cervical proprioception significantly influences static balance outcomes.
  • Trunk proprioception is essential for maintaining dynamic balance when trunk stability is compromised.
  • Higher trunk control correlates with reduced spasticity levels.

Abstract

Trunk control modulates the role of cervical and trunk proprioception in balance and spasticity post-stroke. Cervical proprioception primarily influences static balance and spasticity, whereas trunk proprioception supports dynamic balance when trunk stability is reduced.
