Study: NCT03548090

Intervention type: OTHER
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Experimental 4-week exercise intervention
Description: This intervention occurs in phase 3. Subjects will participate in 1-hour sessions three times per week for four weeks. The experimental group will perform the skateboard exercise with the optimal parameters established during studies 1 and 2 (that is, an incline angle of either 0 or 5 degrees and a body weight percentage of 50%, 75%, or 90%)--the forward and backward speed of the skateboard will be cued with a metronome that will set at a beats per minute that matches the foot strike cadence of someone walking at 0.7 m/s, and the magnitude of forward excursion of the skateboard will be individualized to the participant based on GAITRite® data (that is, step length of the non-paretic LE).

Intervention: Over-ground multi-directional gait training
Description: In the over-ground multi-directional gait protocol, the participant will walk 750 steps forward, 50 steps backward, and 200 side steps over level surfaces. The over ground gait training will focus on equalizing step length while performing multi-directional gait training.
