Interventions/Control_1

Interventions consist of truncal tilt training performed under two conditions. The specific intervention involving a wedge involves inserting a wedge under the ischial tuberosity on the hemiparetic side during maximum lateral truncal tilt training.

Interventions/Control_2

The control group performs maximum lateral truncal tilt training without a wedge.
