Study Details

An affordable and easy to use gait-assistive device for stroke survivors to use at home is yet to be developed. This study is intended to modify the current design of the NewGait device to specifically work for stroke survivors based on feedback from patients and clinicians. Consequently, conducting a short-term biomechanical gait study is planned to determine the usability and functionality of the NewGait device compared to other comparative devices.

Arms

  • Experimental: NewGait
    Participants will put on the NewGait device and walk on the treadmill and overground. Participants may receive biofeedback of their gait patterns to engage them in the training.
  • Other: Control
    Participants will put on the Control device and walk on the treadmill and over ground. Participants may receive biofeedback of their gait patterns to engage them in the training.

Primary Outcome Measure
