Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether split belt training can be used to treat walking pattern deficits from stroke and to determine whether different schedules and types of long term training on a custom split belt treadmill are likely to change/improve walking symmetry.

BEHAVIORAL

Split Belt treadmill

A split belt treadmill is like a typical treadmill that is seen in the gym, except that this treadmill has two belts that move instead of just one. One leg goes on one belt and the other leg uses the other belt. The belt speeds can be set to get at the same speed, making this treadmill similar to any regular treadmill, but, belt speeds can also be set so that one belt moves a little faster than the other. The belts are never set at a running or jogging speed, only a self-paced walking speed regardless of whether the belts are both going the same speed or both going slightly different speeds.
