Stroke
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the possibility of gait pattern change via visual feedback among patients with stroke. Also, the optimal visual feedback would be chosen from this study.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Step length symmetry | Participants will be followed for the duration of treadmill gait, an expected average of 15 minutes | Step length symmetry during treadmill gait. When the participants walk on the treadmill, the walk symmetry was calculated from the sensor attached to them. During the whole period of treadmill gait, step length asymmetry will be recorded. |
