Can Real-Time Biofeedback of Foot Clearance Data Be Use to Assist With Gait Rehabilitation Following Stroke?

Abstract

A new intervention for falls-risk minimization is proposed by providing additional visual sensory information to increase foot-ground clearance in order to walk more safely.A randomised controlled trial will be employed to assess the effects of biofeedback on foot-ground clearance during gait training. The outcome will be innovative biofeedback-based gait training that could significantly enhance existing stroke rehabilitation programs.
