Brief Summary:
The primary purposes of the this three-year research proposal are to investigate the influence of assistive device use on dynamic balance and the associated attentional demands during standing and walking in patients with stroke
Detailed Description:
Research has shown the effectiveness of using ambulatory assistive devices to increase standing stability of patients with stroke in clinical practice Maeda et al 2001 However literature has also suggested that manipulation of ambulatory assistive devices in dynamic motor tasks such as walking inevitably requires additional attention even in healthy adults Wright Kemp 1992 Given that the majority of patients with stroke suffer from balance control difficulty which subsequently increases their attentional demands associated with maintaining balance Brown et al 2002 it remains an important question as to whether the use of ambulatory assistive devices would take away some attentional resources that would otherwise be used for maintaining balance
