Effects of Voluntary Adjustments During Walking in Participants Post-stroke

NCT06034119 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 44

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

People post-stroke retain the capacity to modify walking patterns explicitly using biofeedback and implicitly when encountering changes in the walking environment. This proposal will assess changes in muscle activation patterns associated with walking modifications driven explicitly vs. implicitly, to determine whether individuals generate different amounts of co-contraction during explicit vs. implicit walking modifications. Understanding how walking modifications driven explicitly vs. implicitly influence co-contraction will allow the investigators to identify approaches that can more effectively restore muscle activation toward pre-stroke patterns, promoting mechanism-based recovery of walking function.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Split belt treadmill

Participants will walk on a dual belt treadmill with each belt moving at a different speed which is known as a split belt treadmill to provide implicit modifications of the walking pattern

BEHAVIORAL

Biofeedback

The Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab (GRAIL) system has an immersive virtual reality screen that provides real-time information to participants of their walking pattern and provides visual instructions on how to walk more symmetrically
