Rest the brain to learn new gait patterns after stroke

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background The ability to relearn a lost skill is critical to motor recovery after a stroke. Previous studies indicate that stroke typically affects the processes underlying motor control and execution but not the learning of those skills. However, these
