Error Based Learning for Restoring Gait Symmetry Post-Stroke

NCT01598675 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 48

Last updated 2019-02-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Many of the 780,000 people affected by stroke each year are left with slow, asymmetric walking patterns. The proposed project will evaluate the effectiveness of two competing motor learning approaches to restore symmetric gait for faster, more efficient, and safer walking.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Same Belt Speeds

18 sessions of training (3X/week). 20 minutes/session on treadmill; 10 minutes/session overground 70-75%HRmax. Control-Dual-belted treadmill belts respond to encourage symmetric gait

OTHER

Different Belt Speeds

18 sessions of training (3X/week). 20 minutes/session on treadmill; 10 minutes/session overground 70-75%HRmax. Treadmill belts of dual-belted treadmill respond either to amplify asymmetric gait or encourage symmetric gait.
