Seventy-nine patients with hemiparesis after a stroke were included. Demographics, stroke characteristics, and clinical variables [Mini-Mental State Examination, BBS, strength in the hemiparetic hip, knee, and ankle muscles, and Fugl-Meyer Assessment Lower Extremity (FMA-LE)] were evaluated 2\u2009weeks post-stroke, on average. Somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEP) from both tibial nerves and diffusion tensor imaging data were collected respectively within 3\u2009weeks and 4\u2009weeks post-onset to calculate the SEP amplitude ratio and the laterality index of fractional anisotropy of the corticospinal tract. In multiple linear regression analysis, younger age, higher FMA-LE score, and stronger hemiparetic hip extensors were independent predictors of higher BBS at 3\u2009months post-stroke (adjusted <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">R<\/jats:italic>\n                           <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u20090.563, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). At 6\u2009months post-stroke, significant predictors of higher BBS were younger age, higher FMA-LE, stronger hemiparetic hip extensors, and larger SEP amplitude ratio (adjusted <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">R<\/jats:italic>\n                           <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u20090.552, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), although the incremental contribution of the latter was rather small (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">R<\/jats:italic>\n                           <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u20090.019). We conclude that age and the initial motor impairment of the affected lower limb can inform the state of balance function at 3 and 6\u2009months after stroke.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/mrr.0000000000000573","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,3]],"date-time":"2023-03-03T14:00:09Z","timestamp":1677852009000},"page":"163-169","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Short-term and long-term predictors of balance function in stroke patients: a 6-month follow-up study"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Eun Young","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Korea University College of Medicine"},{"name":"Brain Convergence Research Center, Korea University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoonhye","family":"Na","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Korea University College of Medicine"},{"name":"Brain Convergence Research Center, Korea University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Minjae","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Korea University College of Medicine"},{"name":"Brain Convergence Research Center, Korea University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu Mi","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Korea University College of Medicine"},{"name":"Brain Convergence Research Center, Korea University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyun-Soo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Korea University College of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyonggin","family":"An","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sung-Bom","family":"Pyun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Korea University College of Medicine"},{"name":"Brain Convergence Research Center, Korea University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250525","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"27","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-9993(95)80038-7","article-title":"Recovery of walking function in stroke patients: the Copenhagen stroke study.","volume":"76","author":"Jorgensen","year":"1995","journal-title":"Arch Phys Med Rehabil"},{"key":"R2-20250525","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"451","DOI":"10.5535\/arm.2015.39.3.451","article-title":"Association between evoked potentials and balance recovery in subacute hemiparetic stroke patients.","volume":"39","author":"Lee","year":"2015","journal-title":"Ann Rehabil Med-Arm"},{"key":"R3-20250525","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/86.1.30","article-title":"Balance disability after stroke.","volume":"86","author":"Tyson","year":"2006","journal-title":"Phys Ther"},{"key":"R4-20250525","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"312","DOI":"10.1080\/10749357.2018.1440694","article-title":"Peripheral somatosensory stimulation and postural recovery after stroke \u2013 a systematic review.","volume":"25","author":"Schroder","year":"2018","journal-title":"Top Stroke Rehabil"},{"key":"R5-20250525","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1677","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMcp043511","article-title":"Clinical practice.
