Different biomechanical variables explain within-subjects versus between-subjects variance in step length asymmetry post-stroke

Author(s)3: Natalia Sánchez, Nicolas Schweighofer, James M. Finley
Different biomechanical variables explain within-subjects versus between-subjects variance in step length asymmetry post-stroke 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Step length asymmetry (SLA) is common in most stroke survivors. Several studies have shown that factors such as paretic propulsion can explain between-subjects differences in SLA. However, whether the factors…

Determining factors that influence adoption of new post-stroke sensorimotor rehabilitation devices in the USA

Author(s)3: Corey M. Morrow, Emily Johnson, Kit N. Simpson, Na Jin Seo
Determining factors that influence adoption of new post-stroke sensorimotor rehabilitation devices in the USA 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Rehabilitation device efficacy alone does not lead to clinical practice adoption. Previous literature identifies drivers for device adoption by therapists but does not identify the best settings to introduce devices,…
