Muscle Coordination-Based Feedback for Stroke Rehabilitation

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two interventions currently used to improve gait and lower limb function in individuals with chronic stroke (i.e., high-intensity gait training and high-intensity gait training with functional electrical stimulation (FES)) with novel interventions based on the coordinated activity of multiple muscles, known as muscle synergies. To this end, the researchers will recruit chronic stroke patients to participate in training protocols according to the currently used rehabilitation programs as well as novel rehabilitation programs that provide real time feedback of muscle synergies using multichannel FES and visual feedback.
