Visuospatial Skills Explain Differences in the Ability to Use Propulsion Biofeedback Post-stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Visual biofeedback can be used to help people post-stroke reduce biomechanical gait impairments. Using visual biofeedback engages an explicit, cognitively demanding motor learning process. Participants with better overall cognitive function are better able to use visual biofeedback to promote locomotor learning; however, which specific cognitive domains are responsible for this effect are unknown. We aimed to understand which cognitive domains were associated with performance during acquisition and immediate retention when using visual biofeedback to increase paretic propulsion in individuals post-stroke.

Methods

Participants post-stroke completed cognitive testing, which provided scores for different cognitive domains, including executive function, im
