No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in reflex pathways in the paretic ankle plantarflexors in individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis using operant conditioning. We are recruiting 5 individuals with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis with foot drop in the affected leg to participate in the reflex training procedure. The study involves 40 visits with a total study duration of about 4 months.

Conditions

  • Stroke
  • Post-stroke Hemiparesis
  • Foot Drop

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Operant conditioning

In this training, individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis are trained to increase the amount of reciprocal inhibition in their paretic leg. By increasing the amount of reciprocal inhibition, the paretic ankle in people post-stroke may exhibit less foot drop.
