Summary

Hemiparesis, strictly defined as (muscular) weakness affecting one side of the body, is seen in three-quarters of individuals following stroke. Weakness in this population results from both neural and muscular factors which include, respectively, the ability to activate skeletal muscle as well as the force generating capacity of the muscle. The overall goal is to improve walking in persons post-stroke by training subjects with an intervention that specifically targets existing neural and muscular impairments, thereby facilitating locomotor recovery.

BEHAVIORAL

POWER training

Individuals with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis will undergo training to improve muscle power generation for 24 sessions (3 times/week) that includes both resistive and task-specific elements. Session duration will be \~90 minutes/day (inclusive of rest intervals). Training will include five distinct resistance activities aimed at improving muscle power-- each previously reported to contribute to improved walking
