We reviewed neural control and biomechanical description of gait in both non-disabled and
post-stroke subjects. In addition, we reviewed most of the gait rehabilitation strategies …

Neuromechanical principles define the properties and problems that shape neural solutions
for movement. Although the theoretical and experimental evidence is debated, we present …

Recent studies have reported the application of artificial neural network (ANN) techniques
on data of inertial measurement units (IMUs) to predict ground reaction forces (GRFs), which …

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 …

Post-stroke hemiparetic subjects walk with asymmetrical step lengths that are highly variable
between subjects and may be indicative of the underlying impairments and compensatory …

Background In persons post-stroke, diminished ankle joint function can contribute to
inadequate gait propulsion. To target paretic ankle impairments, we developed a …

A major factor for increasing walking speed is the ability to increase propulsive force.
Although propulsive force has been shown to be related to ankle moment and trailing limb …

Background People recovering from a stroke are less stable during walking compared to
able-bodied controls. The purpose of this study was to examine whether and how post …

Gait asymmetry in spatial and temporal parameters and its impacts on functional activities
have always raised many interesting questions in research and rehabilitation. The aim of …
