Summary

This trial tests the GaitBetter system, a tool to help stroke survivors improve their walking and thinking abilities. It focuses on people who have had a stroke and struggle with these functions. The system uses exercises to enhance both movement and mental skills.

Eligible Conditions
  • Stroke
  • Hemiplegia
  • Hemiplegic Gait

Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~change from baseline scores at post-intervention (after 5 weeks)
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and change from baseline scores at post-intervention (after 5 weeks) for reporting.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Aim 3: Efficacy of the GaitBetter to improve rehabilitation outcomes in sub-acute stroke survivorsExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The investigators propose a randomized, controlled study to evaluate the effects of using the GaitBetter system in patients with subacute stroke on recovery trajectory.
Group II: Aim 2: Efficacy of the GaitBetter to improve motor-cognitive function of chronic stroke survivorsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The investigators propose a single-arm, non-randomized study to test the hypothesis that the GaitBetter training is effective in improving gait and cognition in individuals with chronic stroke. This design was chosen given the expected stability of functional recovery in this population.
