Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the United States, affecting approximately 795,000 people annually. The Veteran's Health Administration provides over 60,000 outpatient visits for stroke-related care annually at a cost of over $250 million. Among ambulatory people with chronic stroke (PwCS), impaired balance is a common health concern that substantially limits mobility (those with the worst balance walk the least). This project will explore adaptive strategies employed by PwCS in balance challenging environments and if a novel gait training intervention using a robotic device to amplify a person's self-generated movements can improve walking balance. The development of effective interventions to increase walking balance among PwCS will positively impact Veterans' health, quality of life, and ability to participate in walking activities.
