A pilot clinical trial on a Variable Automated Speed and Sensing Treadmill (VASST) for hemiparetic gait rehabilitation in stroke patients

Introduction Impairments in walking speed and quantity are common mobility-related problems after stroke. Treadmill training is a useful and accepted method to improve endurance and gait speed. Standard treadmills currently lack variable training speed and automated safe speed progression, thus risk...
