Values represent mean and standard deviation, IS (ischemic stroke), ICHS (Intracerebral Hemorragic Stroke) BBS (Berg Balance scale), COP_area (ellipse area of the COP sway), COP_dist (total COP excursion), COP_ap (anteroposterior COP displacement), COPml (medium-lateral COP displacement), M_veloc (COPmean velocity), MT (mean time interval), MP (mean value of the peaks) and MD (mean distance). ^∗Significant type/assessment periods interaction. ^∗∗Significant difference to pre. ^#Significant difference between types of stroke.
