Summary

Chronic stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Post-stroke health is negatively impacted by two interrelated factors-a substantial risk of falls and limited walking activity. The risk of falling is a barrier to walking activity, with falls self-efficacy mediating the relationship between impaired physical capacity and limited activity. The ability to recover from a fall (i.e. arrest a fall before impact) is a logical, yet untested rehabilitation target to enable walking activity through sustained benefits to falls self-efficacy. Our aim is to demonstrate that fall-recovery training is feasible in stroke survivors with low falls self-efficacy. Five participants will undergo an adapted version of fall-recovery training. We will gather evidence of the implementation, adaptation, and limited efficacy of this intervention in affecting falls self-efficacy and walking activity.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

perturbation-based fall-recovery training

Participants will attempt to recover from treadmill-induced balance perturbations as they walk or stand. The size of the perturbations is progressively challenging and dependent upon participant performance.
