Anything that keeps the toes from catching would help walking, so this research is pretty damned worthless.

Abstract: Study evaluated the effects of treadmill
training with Thera-Band on motor function, gait, and balance abilities
in patients with stroke. Thera-Band is a walking aid alternative to an
ankle-foot orthosis that supports dorsiflexion during gait using the
elasticity of rubber. Thirty participants with hemiparetic stroke were
randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control
group. Participants in both groups received conventional physical
therapy for 30 minutes before the intervention. Additionally, subject in
the experimental group performed treadmill training with Thera-Band for
30 minutes, five times a week for four weeks, while the control group
conducted treadmill training only for the same amount of time. The
Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) was used to measure motor function. The
Timed-up and Go (TUG), 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT), and
Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) were used to evaluate
balance and gait abilities. After training, there were significant
improvements in both groups in FMA, TUG, 10MWT and Gait POMA; these
changes were more significant in the experimental group than the control
group. However, there was no significant difference within group and
between the groups in the Balance POMA. Findings indicate that treadmill
training with Thera-Band is beneficial and effective to improve motor
function of the lower extremities, gait, and balance ability in stroke
patients.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,987 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
