Effects of Voluntary Adjustments During Walking in Participants Post-stroke
Determining the Effects of Increased Demands for Voluntary Adjustments on the Neuromuscular Control of Walking Post-stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 25 Sept 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
People post-stroke retain the capacity to modify walking patterns explicitly using biofeedback and implicitly when encountering changes in the walking environment. This proposal will assess changes in muscle activation patterns associated with walking modifications driven explicitly vs. implicitly, to determine whether individuals generate different amounts of co-contraction during explicit vs. implicit walking modifications. Understanding how walking modifications driven explicitly vs. implicitly influence co-contraction will allow the investigators to identify approaches that can more effectively restore muscle activation toward pre-stroke patterns, promoting mechanism-based recovery of walking function.
