| Research Abstract |
The present study focused on asymmetrical gait patterns in patients after stroke and possible intervention to restore symmetry based on motor learning in the central nervous system. With exposure to unusual physical constraints, gait patterns in healthy subjects that are usually symmetry were systematically modified into asymmetrical patterns, especially in terms of force exerting on the ground. In future studies, an application of similar procedures in hemiplegic patients may play role in restoring symmetrical gait patterns that in turn results in larger gait speed.
