Description
Masanori Nagaoka and colleagues test vibration for balance loss after brainstem stroke in 2026. The syndrome is lateral medullary syndrome. Some patients keep leaning to one side. That lean delays return to daily life. A damaged signal path to the cerebellum may cause it.
One case led, then seven more patients joined. Balance was tested three ways. Vibration on the hurt-side leg helped all patients. At least one test improved for each. Vibration on the good side helped just three. No test got worse with vibration. Three patients then did mixed training. Long-term gains could not be proven in that small set.
