Study Summary
This study consists of three phases that aim to develop an exercise intervention to promote maximal activation of ankle plantar flexors in the paretic lower extrimty (LE) in order to restore a more normalized gait pattern in chronic stroke survivors. The aim of the first phase is to determine if there are differences between standing on different levels of inclination on plantar flexion activation during forward movement of the contralateral LE in adults with chronic with stroke. The aim of second phase is to determine if there are differences between different percentages of weight bearing on the paretic LE on plantar flexion activation during forward movement of the contralateral LE in adults with chronic stroke. The aim of the third phase is to determine if there are differences between a 4-week plantar flexion training intervention and conventional physical therapy.
Primary Outcome
The step length asymmetry ratio will be calculated by dividing the paretic step length by non-paretic step lengths. The magnitude of the ratio indicates the nature of the asymmetry, with symmetrical gait defined as step length ratio of 0.9-1.1, and asymmetrical gait where the non-paretic step lengths are longer than the paretic step lengths with any step length ratio greater than 1.1.
Interventions
- OTHER Skateboard exercise at an incline angle of 0 degrees and 50% body weight
- OTHER Skateboard exercise at an incline angle of 5 degrees and 50% body weight
- OTHER Skateboard exercise at an incline angle determined to be optimal in phase 1 (either 0 or 5 degrees) and 75% body weight
- OTHER Skateboard exercise at an incline angle determined to be optimal in phase 1 (either 0 or 5 degrees) and 90% body weight
- OTHER Control 4-week exercise intervention
