Overground walking speed changes when subjected to body weight support conditions for nonimpaired and post stroke individuals

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Previous research has shown that body weight support (BWS) has the potential to improve gait speed for individuals post-stroke. However, body weight support also reduces the optimal walking speed at which energy use is minimized over...
