RECRUITING

Operant Conditioning of Reflex Pathways to Improve Walking in Individuals Post-stroke

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in reflex pathways in the paretic ankle plantarflexors in individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis using operant conditioning. We are recruiting 5 individuals with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis with foot drop in the affected leg to participate in the reflex training procedure. The study involves 40 visits with a total study duration of about 4 months.
