Error-driven intralimb and interlimb adaptations under asymmetric treadmill and cueing conditions.

ABSTRACT: Rhythmic auditory cueing is commonly used in gait rehabilitation for post-stroke and Parkinson's disease populations, typically improving functional metrics such as walking speed and cadence. In addition, the timing of the cues may be adjusted to deliver asymmetric cues that mimic the effects observed with split-belt treadmill training, where the left and right belt speeds move at different speeds. This study investigates spatiotemporal modifications to asymmetric rhythmic auditory cues by analyzing changes within (intralimb) and between (interlimb) legs under asymmetric mechanical (split-belt treadmill) and instructional (asymmetric rhythmic cues) perturbations. We also examine how timing errors (differences between assigned and actual step durations) affect step velocity under combined t
