ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of integrating a specific balance-training program focused on static balance to the conventional rehabilitation program on dynamic balance, risk of falls, and activities of daily living (ADLs) in older adults post-stroke.DesignA single-blinded randomized controlled trial.SettingInstitutional Intermediate Care Hospital.SubjectsPost-stroke older adults in a subacute phase without cognitive impairment, aged 65 years and older, exhibiting trunk control in a seated position for 30 seconds without supporting the arms.InterventionThe control group underwent the usual treatment, consisting of 60-minute physiotherapy sessions, 5 days per week, for 30 days. The experimental group integrated into the usual treatment 15 minutes of the balance-training program (45 min + 15 min).Main measuresBalance impairment (Mini-BESTest and Berg Balance Scale (BBS), risk of falls (BBS), and independence for ADLs (Barthel Index)) were assessed at baseline, 15 and 30 days after the start of interventions.ResultsSeventy-one post-stroke patients (77.7 ± 9.0 years, 49.2% women) were randomized into the experimental (
