Background and Purpose Impaired sitting balance is an important and time-consuming complication for stroke patients. We examined the effect of the use of an angular biofeedback device in addition to physical therapy in training stroke patients with impaired sitting balance compared with outcome in patients receiving conventional physical therapy only.Methods The biofeedback group consisted of 24 patients who received angular biofeedback training in addition to conventional physical therapy. The number of biofeedback signals and the lengths of time a patient could sit balanced throughout a period of 5 minutes before the training program, after 10 days of treatment, and at discharge were recorded and compared with those of the control group of 13 patients who received conventional physical therapy only.Results It was found that 75% of the biofeedback group gained sitting balance after 10 days of treatment in comparison with 15.4% of the control group (P
