Augmenting propulsion demands during split-belt walking increases locomotor adaptation of asymmetric step lengths

Abstract Background Promising studies have shown that the gait symmetry of individuals with hemiparesis due to brain lesions, such as stroke, can improve through motor adaptation protocols forcing patients to use their affected limb more. However, little is known about how to facilitate this process...
