Effects of Backward Gait on Sand on Improving the Gait Parameters of Patients With Chronic Stroke.

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Chronic Stroke

• Registration Number: NCT03501186
• Lead Sponsor: Majmaah University

Brief Summary

Gait training in stroke is a complex process of motor learning although restoring patients ability to walk would not prepare the individual with the challenges faced in the real environment. The aim is not simply walking in controlled environment, but to achieve dynamic walking. Dynamic walking is the ability of an individual to adjust to the changing surfaces and terrains. thereby returning to achieve active participation in the community. Hence, recovery of walking ability is the primary goal when planning treatment for patients with stroke.
