Scoping Review of Center of Pressure Interventions for Fall Risk in Stroke Survivors

A 2025 scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, covering studies from January 2015 to June 2025. It maps interventions targeting center of pressure variables to reduce fall risk in adult stroke survivors, incorporating stakeholder insights. The review was authored by Jan A. Kuipers and published on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identifying effective biofeedback interventions based on reported effect sizes (d = 0.52–0.84) for sway velocity.
• Informing clinical implementation strategies based on stakeholder insights from survivors and clinicians mentioned in the description.
• Benchmarking equipment and protocol costs based on the reported range from $100 to $50,000.
• Developing standardized measurement protocols based on the review's consensus guidelines.

Strengths

• Includes stakeholder insights from a panel of seven members, including stroke survivors and clinicians.
• Reports specific quantitative findings, such as a 0.5 cm/s reduction in sway velocity correlating with an ~18% decrease in fall likelihood.
• Synthesizes evidence from nine studies involving 306 participants, primarily chronic stroke patients.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 24.9 KB document; the underlying study data or full extracted data tables are not provided.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the review text.
• The data is limited to the scope of the review, covering interventions published between 2015 and 2025.
