Serial Backward Locomotor Treadmill Training Improves Bidirectional Walking Performance in Chronic Stroke

Background and Research QuestionWalking impairment remains a major limitation to functional independence after stroke. Yet, comprehensive and effective strategies to improve walking function after stroke are presently limited. Backward Locomotor Treadmill Training (BLTT) is a promising training appr...
