Long Term Split Belt Treadmill Training for Stroke Recovery
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Split belt treadmill for Stroke and Hemiparesis. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether split belt or conventional treadmill training can be used to treat walking pattern deficits from stroke and to determine whether this improves gait asymmetry and metabolic efficiency.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
A split belt treadmill is like a typical treadmill that is seen in the gym, except that this treadmill has two belts that move instead of just one. One leg goes on one belt and the other leg uses the other belt. The belt speeds can be set to move at the same speed, making this treadmill similar to any regular treadmill, but, belt speeds can also be set so that one belt moves a little faster than the other. The belts are never set at a running or jogging speed, only a self-paced walking speed regardless of whether the belts are both going the same or slightly different speeds.
