Association Between Motor Recovery and Balance Performance in Patients with Subacute Stroke: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract Background: Motor impairment and balance dysfunction are two major contributors to disability after stroke. Motor recovery and balance performance are related and this understanding could be used to better optimize rehabilitation strategies in subacute stroke patients.

Objective: To investigate the association between motor recovery and balance performance in patients with subacute stroke.

Materials and Methods: This was a secondary analysis of 100 patients with subacute stroke (1-6 months post-stroke). The Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) and Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) were used to assess motor recovery, and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was used to assess balance performance. The motor recovery and balance performance were analyzed using Pearson correlation.

Results: The average age of the participants was 63.97 ± 4.44 years, with 54% being male and 46% female. There were significant positive correlations between the FMA-UE and BBS scores and between FMA-LE and BBS scores. There was also a strong positive correlation between the total FMA scores and BBS scores.

Conclusions: Motor recovery is significantly correlated with balance performance in subacute stroke patients. Those who have more motor function skills have more balance skills. This study demonstrates the relationship between motor and balance recovery and suggests rehabilitation strategies that focus on both to achieve optimal functional recovery following stroke.
