Sponsor's own description

The study aims to investigate the 1) differences between stroke patients and healthy controls in time, steps, angular velocity, stepping patterns, electromyographic responses during turning, and the association of turning to trunk control and motor function after stroke; 2) the effectiveness of trunk training on turning performance, trunk control and motor function in stroke patients.
