Abstract
Weakness and somatosensory deficits have long been known to be involved in the postural instability of subjects with stroke. Recently, it has been shown that impaired representations of the orientation of the longitudinal axis of the body (LBA, egocentric reference) and of verticality (allocentric reference) may also play a role. The objective of the present study was to determine whether these two references were independently linked to postural asymmetry in standing stroke patients.
