Schematic representation of the technique used. Subjects were positioned (A) on the Balance Master platforms. (B) Sized angled wedges or (C) lifts under the shoe of the stronger leg induced compelled shifts of the body weight toward the paretic limb. Weight bearing is in percentage of the body weight.

3. Fig. 2
Changes in weight bearing with application of wedges (circles) and lifts (squares) are shown. Weight bearing was measured on the paretic side and is shown with standard error bars. Note changes in weight bearing with increase of angles of the wedges or size of the lifts. Linear regression equations are shown. The weight-bearing scale is shown as percentage of overall body weight.
