One of the common symptoms of stroke that often arises is balance disorder. Sensorimotor integration is an exercise targeted to improve the functional capacity of stroke survivors. This study aims to explore the effect of sensorimotor integration exercises in improving balance of people with stroke. This is a quasi-experimental design, with time- series experimental design. Fifteen people were participated in this study and recruited purposively based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The subjects were divided into two groups, 3 times group and 6 times group. The intervention was conducted for 2 weeks with the total of 6 times exercise. The outcome measure used to measure balance is the Berg Balance Scale, measured at baseline, 3 times and 6 times for both groups. Wilcoxon test was used to analyze the difference between the collected data. The results showed a significant decrease in the Berg Balance Scale (p<0,01). This shows that sensorimotor exercise integration has an significant effect in improving balance in people with stroke. Keywords: sensorimotor integration exercise; balance; berg balance scale; stroke. 1. Introduction Stroke is a condition that often cause disability on adults and can lead to early death [1]. Stroke is still a major problems in many countries including ASEAN countries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Corresponding author.
