Effects on propulsion-related biomechanics
REAL gait training resulted in more study participants improving key propulsion-driving biomechanical variables compared to CONTROL gait training. Specifically, after REAL gait training, three study participants (S1, S3, S4) significantly increased their paretic trailing limb angle and stride length, with two of these study participants (S1 and S3) concurrently increasing their plantarflexion torque (p’s < 0.05). Conversely, after CONTROL gait training, two study participants significantly increased their paretic trailing limb angle and stride length (S2 and S3), with one of these study participants (S2) concurrently increasing their plantarflexor torque (p’s
