Table 2.
Overground self-selected walking speed at the pre-training, post-training and follow-up sessions for the hemiparetic subjects. Speed ratios were calculated as follow-up/post-training speed. Step length symmetry (PSR) and daily step activity at the post-training session for the hemiparetic subjects. Note that daily step activity data were collec for 15 of the 18 hemiparetic subjects.
