Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: * has had a stroke and is in the chronic stage of recovery (> 6 months after stroke) * wants to improve his/her walking performance * 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)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: * cannot walk a minimal distance of 10 meters (if necessary with manual assistance or walking aid) * has additional impairments, not related to stroke, that can influence the gait pattern e.g. severe osteoarthritis or amputation of the lower limb
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main outcome parameter in work package A is walking speed measured in single and dual task conditions. The main outcome parameter for work package B is the technology acceptance of the Stappy-system. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome measures in work package A include: quality of gait (Spatiotemporal gait parameters, Dynamic Gait Index), the participants *satisfaction?* (Likert-scale), the general level of mobility (Rivermead Mobility Index) and quality of life (Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale). Secondary outcomes in work package B are based on the feasibility and potential first effects on walking performance. | — |
