Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Deficits in the vestibular, visual, motor, and / or somatosensory systems lead to falls in the first 6 months after the stroke. This affects approximately 46% of patients. But also cognitive processes, such as attention and concentration. Therefore, the treatment must be adapted to the respective strategy of the patient. If the patient increasingly uses the visual system, the therapy has to work a lot with the eyes closed. In turn, if he uses more of the sensorimotor system is increasingly trained with unstable documents. After this system, the balance program was set up. It is the same for the intervention and control group to make a difference between individual and group training.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
individual balance training
After the initial assessments, the three week intervention time begins, which is completed with the reassessments.
The patients receive 2x weekly individual balance training for 25 minutes each. This runs in addition to the normal, prescribed rehabilitation program. The rehabilitation program includes at least 3 therapies daily. These may be group therapies, speech therapy, occupational therapy, neuropsychology and physiotherapy adapted to the needs of the patient. In physiotherapy and occupational therapy no balance training will be performed during the intervention period.
individual balance training
One physiotherapist trains one Patient nearby a bar. The tasks changes in gage, visual feedback, vestibular feedback and underground. The Positions will be hodl for 10-30 seconds.
group balance training
The patients receive 2x weekly group balance training for 25 minutes each. This runs in addition to the normal, prescribed rehab program. The rehabilitation program includes at least 3 therapies daily. These may be group therapies, speech therapy, occupational therapy, neuropsychology and physiotherapy adapted to the needs of the patient. In physiotherapy and occupational therapy no balance training will be performed during the intervention period.
In group therapy are 3 to 6 patients with different neurological diagnoses. As it is usual in rehabilitation everyday life.
