Stepping in Persons Poststroke: Comparison of Voluntary and Perturbation-Induced Responses
Conclusions: The results indicated differences in executing voluntary and induced stepping, and between the paretic and nonparetic limbs in individuals with chronic stroke. The findings suggested guidelines for using stepping as a component of neurorehabilitation programs for enhancing balance and mobility. Additional larger-scale studies remain to be undertaken to further investigate these issues.
