Study Details

To compare the effect of constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) vs. treadmill training only on walking function in individuals post-stroke, a 6 week, single-blind, randomized training study will be conducted with three assessments of gait to determine the training effect. Subjects will be randomized to either the CIMT or treadmill training only groups at the initial test. Following the initial test, individuals from the 2 groups will undergo intensive locomotor training. Training will be performed 3 times per week for 6 weeks with the training time for each visit set to 45 minutes as tolerated. Data collection will proceed until 36 subjects from 2 groups have been trained.

TREATMENT

Arms

  • Experimental: robotic training
    For the robotic training group, a controlled resistance load will be applied to the unaffected leg at the ankle and an assistance load will be applied to the pelvis.
  • Active Comparator: treadmill training
    For the treadmill training only group, a physical therapist will provide manual assistance to the affected leg at the knee and/or ankle joints as necessary during treadmill training.

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in walking speed [ Time Frame: pre, post 6 weeks training, and 8 weeks after the end of training. ]
