Music and Rhythm-based Technology Helps Stroke Survivors Improve Walking Ability in Nationwide Clinical Trial
Nearly 800,000 Americans experience a stroke each year, making it a leading cause of disability. One common condition after a stroke is hemiparesis – muscle weakness or partial paralysis – which can make movement slower and more difficult. Walking, and in particular independent walking outside the home, poses a significant challenge for as many as 85 […]
