Overview
Brief Summary
This study will aim to evaluate the effects of backward walking training and side walking training on gait speed and cadence in individuals who have had a stroke. Stroke survivors will commonly experience gait impairments such as reduced walking speed and altered cadence which will hinder their functional mobility and independence. Traditional rehabilitation will predominantly emphasize forward walking, but this study will explore the potential benefits of multidirectional gait training as a novel approach. A single group experimental design will be used participants will undergo a structured program involving BWT and SWT. Gait speed and cadence will be measured using the 10 Meter Walk Test before and after the intervention. Objective motion analysis will be conducted using Kinovea software in order to enhance the accuracy of the gait assessment.
