Internally v. Externally Guided BWSTT for Locomotor Recovery Post-stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Locomotor training for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overriding goal of this proposal is to identify the critical physiological and biomechanical effects of BWSTT for promoting improved locomotor function in persons with post-stroke hemiparesis.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
This study compares two forms of Iocomotor training: 1) standard or manual - in which an individual is provided partial body weight support while walking on a treadmill with assistance of 1-3 therapists to move the legs and stabilize the trunk/pelvis and 2) robotic-guided - in which an exoskeleton robot (Lokomat) guides movement of the walking pattern. Partial body-weight support, treadmill walking and treadmill speed are consistent between the study arms.
