Investigating the relationship between spatiotemporal gait variability and falls self-efficacy in individuals with chronic stroke

TL;DR: The results underline the interest of proposing rehabilitation programs focused on walking, especially for patients with low functional capacity, as well as the need to compare brain activation, gait parameters, and cognitive performances in single and dual tasks according to the functional status in subacute stroke patients.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared force control training and strength training for reducing gait variability in chronic stroke survivors. And they found task-specific effects with strength training improving plantarflexion and dorsiflexion strength and force control improving motor accuracy and steadiness.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a radar sensor for risk of falling analysis and combine its performance with an instrumented insole, and evaluated their methods on datasets acquired during a Timed Up and Go (TUG) test where a stride length was computed by the insole using three approaches.

TL;DR: Rhythmic sensory stimulation is effective in improving the gait of patients with chronic stroke, regardless of the type of rhythmic stimuli, compared to healthy controls.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the published research literature on the measurement of fall-related psychological constructs among independent-living older adults using search terms including but not limited to "fear of falling", "falls efficacy", "fall-related selfefficacy", "balance confidence", and "fall related psychological outcome(s)".

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to examine test-retest reliability of three gait parameters representing pace, rhythm and variability in healthy older persons during normal and dual task walking and to determine the number of strides necessary to measure the parameters reliably.

TL;DR: The current electrophysiological, biomechanical, and imagery evaluations that provide insight into locomotor dysfunction post stroke, as well as their advantages and limitations, are reviewed in this paper.

TL;DR: The results presented in this paper are not under consideration elsewhere and have not been published previously in whole or in part, except in poster form at the European Society of Cardiology Conference in August 2011.
