Description

Balance issues are one of the most common challenges in recovery after stroke.

Due to weakness and a lack of sensation on the stroke-affected side, stroke survivors are especially at risk for falls.

In this episode, I’m joined by physical therapist and stroke survivor David Dansereau to talk about our experiences in improving balance after stroke.
