Retaining Short-term Training Effects on Gait Adaptability in People With Stroke

Over a span of 1 year participants will receive 3 one hour, single sessions at 3, 6 and 9 months following baseline assessment, of gait adaptability training, using the C-mill (an instrumented treadmill with augmented reality). Several aspects of gait adaptability, such as obstacle avoidance, accelerating/decelerating and precision stepping, will be trained.

Participants will receive tailored exercise through an online platform targeting gait adaptability. Participants are instructed to train at a minimum of 60 minutes per week, with a frequency of 2 sessions per week. Participants will be supported through tele-consultations on a monthly basis for the first 3 months and bi-monthly for the remaining time of the study. These consultations are focused on technical support, on ways to ensure training progression and to encourage adherence to the program.
