One participant recruited on 2/21/2020 at University of Delaware campus.

Fall-recovery Training for Those With Chronic Stroke and Low Falls Self-efficacy

The number of participants who end participation due to adverse events

Balance confidence, as measured by the Activities Specific Balance Confidence questionnaire. Scores range from 0 to 100, and represent the average rating of each question. Higher scores indicate more confidence. Range 0-100 Higher values represent a better outcome.

Falls Self-Efficacy, as measured by the Falls Self-Efficacy Scale. Scores are totaled, ranging from 16-64, with higher scores representing worse self-efficacy.

Average steps/day, as measured by a step monitor

Stepping thresholds are the treadmill-induced, standing perturbation magnitudes that elicit anterior, posterior, or lateral steps. These thresholds are determined from a series of progressively challenging perturbations, delivered as participants stand on a computer-controlled treadmill. The thresholds are the size of the perturbation (measured as acceleration) that results in a step for four trial. Participants are instructed to try not to step. One progression consists of forward and backward perturbations to determine anterior and posterior thresholds. A second progression is done with participants facing the side of the treadmill, with the progression identifying left and right stepping thresholds. Anterior, posterior, left, and right thresholds are considered independently (i.e. not averaged or summed).
