PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the effect of delayed visual feedback on the center of pressure and sitting balance in patients with stroke. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: This was a single-blinded, randomized crossover trial. The duration of each intervention in real-time visual feedback and delayed visual feedback conditions while sitting on the platform was five days. We measured the center of pressure, function in sitting test, and functional independence measure for physiotherapy assessment. RESULTS: Twenty patients with stroke were included in this study. The delayed visual feedback condition improved the center of pressure for lateral distance, function in sitting test, and functional independence measure. The lateral center of pressure deviation increased significantly after 500 ms of intervention. The function in sitting test evaluated the interaction between pre- and post-training, and these conditions revealed that timing and condition factors contributed to the improvement. Sitting balance training affected the functional independence measure. CONCLUSION: Sensory-motor and cognitive learning was facilitated through balance training with delayed visual feedback, and the internal model was updated with the efference copy of error correction. Sensory-motor feedback to visual stimulation can improve postural control, balance, and activities of daily living.
