Summary

Despite current walking rehabilitation strategies, the majority of stroke survivors are unable to walking independently in the community and remain at increased risk of falls. Backward treadmill training is a novel training approach used by elite athletes to enhance speed, agility, and balance; however, it is currently unknown how this exercise interacts with the central nervous system or if it could benefit stroke survivors with residual walking impairment. Knowledge gained from this study will likely lead to more effective walking rehabilitation strategies in stroke and related disorders.
