Background: Individuals with acute-onset central nervous system (CNS) injury, including
stroke, motor incomplete spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury, often experience lasting …

We reviewed neural control and biomechanical description of gait in both non-disabled and
post-stroke subjects. In addition, we reviewed most of the gait rehabilitation strategies …

Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically slow and metabolically expensive.
Passive assistive devices such as ankle-foot orthoses are often prescribed to increase …

Neuromechanical principles define the properties and problems that shape neural solutions
for movement. Although the theoretical and experimental evidence is debated, we present …

Evidence suggests that the nervous system controls motor tasks using a low-dimensional
modular organization of muscle activation. However, it is not clear if such an organization …

Recent studies have reported the application of artificial neural network (ANN) techniques
on data of inertial measurement units (IMUs) to predict ground reaction forces (GRFs), which …

Mehrholz J, Wagner K, Rutte K, Meiβner D, Pohl M. Predictive validity and responsiveness of
the Functional Ambulation Category in hemiparetic patients after stroke. OBJECTIVE: To …

Background and objective. Previous studies suggest that error augmentation may be used
as a strategy to achieve longer-term changes in gait deficits after stroke. The purpose of this …

Background and Purpose—Locomotor training (LT) using a treadmill can improve walking
ability over conventional rehabilitation in individuals with hemiparesis, although the …

Background Although walking speed is the most common measure of gait performance post-
stroke, improved walking speed following rehabilitation does not always indicate the …
