Conclusions
long-term retention, post-stroke, post-stroke gait deficit
Our results show that TLA real-time biofeedback is a feasible and effective strategy to induce preferential and significant increases in paretic propulsion and TLA, while minimizing concomitant increases in non-paretic biomechanics of post-stroke individuals. These targeted biomechanical changes led to an improvement in inter-limb gait asymmetry. For post-stroke individuals, in contrast to AGRF biofeedback, TLA biofeedback induced an increase in paretic AGRF through modulation of overall limb positioning rather than ankle kinetics. By demonstrating the short-term effects of real-time TLA in comparison to AGRF biofeedback on gait biomechanics of post-stroke individuals, our results pave the way for future work exploring long-term retention and gait training with TLA biofeedback, strengthen our knowledge of the inter-relationships between TLA and AGRF, and underscore the potential for paretic TLA as a clinically modifiable post-stroke gait deficit.
