Inpatient Rehabilitation Treatments and Effect on Pushing Behaviors in Individuals Post-stroke
Some individuals demonstrate pushing behaviors after having a stroke. The purpose of this
study is to see if there are immediate changes in pushing behaviors in individuals who have
had a stroke before and after sitting in a wheelchair, walking on the treadmill, and walking
overground.
The investigators do not think there will be a change with sitting in the wheelchair, but
the investigators think there may be an improvement in pushing behaviors after walking
training.
