Conditions

The study is targeted at people after stroke who are in the chronic stage of recovery. Stroke, CVA

Interventions

Depending on randomisation, participants will receive a gait training based on implicit motor learning principles (experimental group) or based on explicit motor learning principles (control group).

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria. The person  has had a stroke and is in the chronic stage of recovery (> 6 months after stroke)  has a walking speed slower than 1.0 m/s (there is limited space for improvement if walking speed would be too high (ceiling effect)  is able to communicate in Dutch langue, at least to understand the verbal instructions of the physiotherapist  has the ability to complete a 3-stage command

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study. The person  cannot walk a minimal distance of 10 meters (if necessary with manual assistance or walking aid)  has additional diagnosed impairments, not related to stroke, that can influence the gait pattern e.g. severe osteoarthritis or amputation of the lower limb  could not ambulate on level surfaces without manual contact of another person (Functional Ambulation Scale (FAC) < 3)

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main outcome parameter in work package A is walking speed measured using the 10-Meter Walk Test The central outcome parameter in work package B is the technology acceptance of the Stappy-system	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary outcome measures include: dual-task performance, quality of gait (modified Dynamic Gait Index), the propensity for conscious processing (Movement Specific Reinvestment Scale), the participants' satisfaction (Likert-scale), and quality of life (Stroke Specific Quality of Life Secondary outcomes of interest in work package B are the feasibility of the Stappy-system and potential effects on walking performance (walking speed).	—
