Usually, post-stroke individuals present difficulty in locomotion, and different forms of gait intervention have been employed in order to at least diminish those difficulties. The use of partial body weight support (PBWS) is amongst different strategies of intervention for that population. Although this strategy has been employed on treadmills, more recently, the use of PBWS over the gro…
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of gait training with body weight support (BWS) on treadmill vs. over the ground on measures related to locomotor coordination. In this way, individuals with lower limb hemiparesis were recruited to participate in this study. After baseline (T0), participants were randomly allocated to 2 BWS groups: treadmill (TMG, n=14) and overgrou…
