Enhanced error facilitates motor learning in weight shift and increases use of the paretic leg during walking at chronic stage after stroke

In conclusion, applying pelvis resistance forces to increase error signals may facilitate motor learning of weight shift toward the paretic side and enhance use of the paretic leg in chronic stroke survivors. Results from this study may be utilized to develop an intervention approach to improve walking in stroke survivors.PMID:34477919 | DOI:10.1007/s00221-021-06202-9
