adaptations required to walk over irregular terrain in community-dwelling people with …

Background Walking ability of people with foot drop in the chronic phase after stroke is better
with functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the peroneal nerve than without an orthotic …

Background. Obstacles are a common cause of falls among older adults. Anticipatory motor
planning for obstacle negotiation must be completed during the precrossing phase in order …

After stroke, the ability to make step adjustments during walking is reduced and requires
more attention, which may cause problems during community walking. The C-Mill is an …

Background Obstacle negotiation is a daily activity that requires the integration of
