Poststroke hemiplegic gait is a mixture of deviations and compensatory motion dictated by
residual functions, and thus each patient must be examined and his/her unique gait pattern …

Gait symmetry is important in measuring gait pattern alterations for establishing the level of
functional limitation due to pathology, observing its changes over time and evaluating …

Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically slow and metabolically expensive.
Passive assistive devices such as ankle-foot orthoses are often prescribed to increase …

Evidence suggests that the nervous system controls motor tasks using a low-dimensional
modular organization of muscle activation. However, it is not clear if such an organization …

Symmetry is a gait characteristic that is increasingly measured and reported, particularly in
the stroke patient population. However, there is no accepted standard for assessing …

Background and objective. Previous studies suggest that error augmentation may be used
as a strategy to achieve longer-term changes in gait deficits after stroke. The purpose of this …

Background and Purpose—Locomotor training (LT) using a treadmill can improve walking
ability over conventional rehabilitation in individuals with hemiparesis, although the …

Background While manually-assisted body-weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) has
revealed improved locomotor function in persons with post-stroke hemiparesis, outcomes …

Background Although walking speed is the most common measure of gait performance post-
stroke, improved walking speed following rehabilitation does not always indicate the …

Background and Objective. Following stroke, subjects retain the ability to adapt interlimb
symmetry on the split-belt treadmill. Critical to advancing our understanding of locomotor …
