Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) Stroke
Conditions
Interventions
All patients will receive two gait training interventions, each consisting of
twelve one hour training sessions. The training sessions will be focussed on
improving gait capacity.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcomes will be gait adaptability as measured with the Emory Function Ambulation Profile (E-FAP), stepping performance as measured with the Timed-Up-And-Go test (TUG) and dynamic balance as measured with the Margin of Stability (MoS). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Concerning gait adaptability: - Walking Adaptability Ladder Test (WALT) - Modified Dynamic Gait Index (mDIG) Concerning dynamic balance: - Lyapunov exponent - Foot placement estimator - Distance between extrapolated center of mass (XCoM) and center of pressure (CoP) in anterior-posterior (AP) and medio-lateral (ML) direction - Center of mass (CoM) - center of pressure (CoP) inclination angles - Step width variability - Step time variability - Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale) Concerning stepping performance: - Spatiotemporal gait parameters - Hip-knee-ankle-foot kinematics - Peak ankle moment - Peak ankle power - Mini-BESTest Other - Activity during the training sessions - Logbook training sessions | — |
