Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Baseline Step Length Symmetry. That is, Whether the Steps With Right and Left Legs Are the Same Length. — 0.001; -0.078; -0.045; 0.144 ratio
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether split belt or conventional treadmill training can be used to treat walking pattern deficits from stroke and to determine whether this improves gait asymmetry and metabolic efficiency.
