Motor interference on lateral pelvis shifting towards the paretic leg during walking and its cortical mechanisms in persons with stroke.
Motor interference, where new skill acquisition disrupts the performance of a previously learned skill, is a critical yet underexplored factor in gait rehabilitation post-stroke. This study investigates the interference effects of two different practice schedules, applying interleaved (ABA condition) and intermittent (A-A condition) pulling force to the pelvis during treadmill walking, on lateral pelvis shifting towards the paretic leg in individuals with stroke. Task A involved applying…
