Error-induced post-stroke walking training

Error-induced treatment on a split treadmill leads to longer-term improvements in gait deficits poststroke, as was tested 3 months after the training. The error augmentation strategy, which promotes stride-by-stride adjustment to reduce asymmetry and results in improved asymmetry during overground walking practice, appears to be critical for obtaining the improvements observed.
