Currently, there is an intensive development of bipedal walking robots. The most known
solutions are based on the use of the principles of human gait created in nature during …

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 …

Over the past 3 decades, the volume of human motor learning research has grown
enormously. As such, the understanding of motor learning (ie, sustained change in motor …

Since the mid-2000s, perturbation-based balance training has been gaining interest as an
efficient and effective way to prevent falls in older adults. It has been suggested that this task …

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 …

Human walking is usually conceived as the cyclic rotation of the limbs. The goal of lower-
limb movements, however, is the forward translation of the body system, which can be …

Although Parkinson disease (PD) is common throughout the world, the evidence for physical
therapy interventions that enable long-term improvement in walking is still emerging. This …

Background Individualized, targeted, and intense training is the hallmark of successful gait
rehabilitation in people post-stroke. Specifically, increasing use of the impaired ankle to …

Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States, with approximately
795,000 people experiencing a new or recurrent stroke each year. 1 A primary concern of …

Spasticity is a movement disorder, defined as a velocity-dependent increase in stretch
reflexes 1 due to impaired supraspinal inhibitory signals. Recent observations suggest …
