Funded Activity Summary

Muscle weakness is the cause of walking problems following neurological problems such as stroke and brain injury. Many studies have used strengthening exercises but few have benefitted. It appears that clinicians have been strengthening the wrong muscle groups and have not used exercises that stimulate the muscles to work the way they do when walking. The aim of this project is to use well established biomechanical and strengthening guidelines to improve walking after neurological injury.
