Stroke & perturbation training
Text
Stroke and perturbation training for fall prevention after stroke project examines the effects of over ground perturbation training during walking with the goal of exploring adaptive changes induced in the postural stability and incidence of laboratory falls in chronic stroke survivors. The project further investigates the retention of acquired fall resisting skills and its translation to real-life falls.
