There is insufficient evidence regarding improvements in functional independence of people post stroke. [27]

4 x 1-hour gym workouts, including a cardio warm-up on a treadmill and dynamic mobility exercises to prepare the muscles she's about to train, a main strength training workout, and static ...
These exercises strengthen key muscles in the calves that research has indicated play a crucial role in shoring up ankle instability, and more stable ankles translates to improved balance and ...
