Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if perturbation-induced step training improves stepping performance during a reactive and voluntary step The main questions it aims to answer are
Does perturbation induced step training improve step initation time and first recovery step
Researchers will compare lateral perturbation induced step training to lateral voluntary step training to see if the first recovery steps improve
Participants will
Vist the lab for an initial assessment post exercise and one month post exercise of voluntary and perturbation induced stepping performance and clinical tests of balance motor recovery sensory and strength tests
Exercise 3 times a week for 6 weeks in person
Track falls for 6 months after the exercise

Detailed Description:
Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States as the result of an increased survival rate over the last 25 years A high frequency of falls is commonly reported in this group due to the residual sensorimotor deficits and impairments to balance Many falls occur when weight is transferred laterally and an equal number of falls happen during voluntary movements as during unexpected disturbances such as a trip push or pull Typically either will involve a protective step to recover balance Thus the purpose of this study is to compare the effects of reactive lateral step training to voluntary lateral step training on the performance of the protective step functional balance and falls in persons post-stroke Thirty participants with a stroke will be randomized to one of two interventions reactive step training or voluntary step training In the voluntary step training group participants will perform voluntary steps In the reactive step training group participants will perform reactive steps generated by the Active Step The training will be 3 times a week for 6 weeks The step initiation time will be compared in both the voluntary and reactive steps at baseline before the intervention post-intervention and a test of retention will occur one month after the training Functional balance will be assessed with the Community Balance Mobility Scale and falls will be compared in the 6 months preceding the intervention to 6 months post-intervention testing If reactive step training is effective then the protective step characteristics functional balance and the number of falls will be reduced compared to the voluntary step training group
