Sideways Treadmill Training to Improve Paretic Leg Stepping in Persons Post-Stroke

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stroke, Hemiparesis

In brief

People who are living in the community following a stroke fall frequently. The ability to take a step in response to a balance disturbance helps to prevent falls but stroke survivors tend not to step with their paretic leg in these circumstances. This leaves them vulnerable to falls towards their paretic side. The purpose of this study is to train paretic limb stepping by having individuals stand sideways on a treadmill and respond to sudden accelerations of the treadmill.
