Study Summary

Many chronic stroke survivors have poor walking balance, contributing to an increased risk of falls and fear of falling. One factor contributing to these balance deficits is a reduced ability to place the feet appropriately when walking. This study investigates whether enhancing the sensory information available to chronic stroke survivors while they walk improves their foot placement accuracy and balance.

Primary Outcome

The investigators will monitor the safety of the intervention by quantifying the percentage of participants who experience an adverse event potentially related to the intervention (e.g. skin irritation; falls) or any serious adverse event (e.g. hospitalization; death). This information is gathered through participant self-report, or through communication with participant caregiver if necessary.
