Spatial and Temporal Asymmetries in Gait Predict Split-Belt Adaptation Behavior in Stroke

Conclusion. This work demonstrates that stroke patients adapt toward their baseline temporal and spatial asymmetries of walking independently of one another. We define how a given split-belt training session would affect asymmetries in these domains, which must be considered when developing rehabilitation interventions for stroke patients.
