Cognition and Motor Learning Post-stroke Study
This study is looking at how thinking abilities (cognition) after a stroke affect how people learn to walk better. It's also trying to find brain markers related to this connection. Participants will be 45 to 85 years old, have had a stroke more than 6 months ago affecting one side of their body, and be able to walk independently. You will participate in either "Explicit motor learning" where you get visual feedback on your step lengths while walking on a treadmill, or "Implicit motor learning" where the treadmill moves your legs at different speeds. The main goal is to see how your step length asymmetry changes. The study status is currently unclear, and it plans to enroll 65 people.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 65 participants. It aims to understand the impact of cognitive impairment on motor learning after a stroke.
- What's involved
- You will complete two testing sessions over approximately one month. During each session, your step length asymmetry will be measured at baseline, and at the beginning and end of the interventions.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Measurements will be taken at three timepoints within each testing session, with two sessions over approximately one month.

What this trial measures
- step length asymmetry - change in performanceMeasured at three timepoints of interest within each testing session: baseline and at the beginning and end of the interventions; participants will complete 2 testing sessions over approximately 1 months
characterized as a comparison between the right and left step lengths; captured to quantify change in performance with biofeedback or split belt walking
