Effects of Voluntary Adjustments During Walking in Participants Post-stroke
Stroke
About this trial
This is an interventional basic science trial for Stroke focused on measuring Walking, Gait, Motor control, Neurorehabilitation
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria for stroke survivors are: Chronic hemiparesis (time since stroke > 6 months) caused by a single documented stroke event. Ability to walk on the treadmill continuously for 2 minutes Ability to walk over ground independently or with the use of a cane No concurrent neurological disorders or orthopedic conditions that interfere with their ability to walk No prior experience walking on a split-belt treadmill Normal or corrected to normal vision The ability for them or a guardian to provide informed consent. Inclusion criteria for neurotypical adults are: No musculoskeletal conditions or injuries that limit walking ability within the last two years No history of neurological disorders or severe head trauma No prior experience walking on a split-belt treadmill Normal or corrected to normal vision. Exclusion Criteria for stroke survivors are: Inability to walk Concurrent neurological disorders or orthopedic conditions that interfere with their ability to walk More than one stroke Visual neglect Uncontrolled hypertension Inability to provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria for neurotypical controls are: Inability to walk Concurrent neurological disorders or orthopedic conditions that interfere with their ability to walk Uncontrolled hypertension Inability to provide informed consent.

Active Comparator
Stroke participants
Neurotypical participants
Researchers will assess muscle control in participants post-stroke during different types of walking modifications
Researchers will compare muscle control to neurotypical participants during the same types of walking modifications to assess stroke-induced changes in muscle control vs. intervention-induced changes in muscle control
