Summary: This study aims to investigate the effects of serial BLTT on spatial aspects of backward and forward walking in chronic post-stroke individuals with residual walking impairment. The results show an overall improvement in BLTT and overground walking speeds, bilateral step lengths, and single-support center of pressure distances over six training sessions. Additionally, there were weak positive associations between changes in BLTT speed, BLTT paretic step length, and overground forward walking speed.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of visual reference on spatiotemporal gait characteristics during backward and forward walking. The findings showed that backward walking with visual reference affected symmetry in step length and step width, increased variability and base of support but decreased swing time.

Summary: Body weight support overground walking training is widely used in gait rehabilitation, but existing systems are not suitable for the clinical environment due to their large workspace, complex structure, and high installation cost. In this study, a self-paced treadmill system with optimized body weight support was proposed, which showed cost/space effectiveness and more accurate measurement performance compared to motion sensor.

Summary: Locomotion in different directions requires fine-adjusted neural activity of spinal networks, and this study found that the recruitability and stability of backward stepping are lower compared to forward stepping.

Summary: Despite existing literature on forward and backward walking, there is a lack of comprehensive assessment of gait parameters on a wide and homogenous population. This study aims to analyze the differences between the two gait typologies on a relatively large sample. The results demonstrate significant differences in spatial-temporal parameters and adaptation mechanisms in backward walking. Kinetics analysis reveals notable differences in joint powers and moment patterns between forward and backward walking.

Summary: The study suggests that backward walking training with motor dual tasks could be a more effective interventional approach than forward walking training to improve the balance and walking functions of children with spastic hemiplegia, showing significant improvement especially in walking speed.

Summary: The study found that walking on sand results in a different gait pattern compared to walking on solid ground, suggesting that sand walking can be utilized as a new approach to gait and balance training in clinical practice.

Summary: The study compared the effects of retro walking treadmill training and forward walking treadmill training on general obesity and abdominal obesity in untrained young adults. Results showed that retro walking training was more effective in reducing waist-hip ratio and waist-height ratio compared to forward walking training, although the decrease in body mass index was not statistically significant.

Summary: This paper proposes a strategy to enhance the efficiency of BWS treadmill training by regulating the height of the BWS system to track the height of the subject's center of mass. The strategy improves the stability of CoM height during training, increases the stance phase duration of the paretic side, and promotes gait symmetry. Additionally, it increases the ranges of motion for hip and knee joints compared to constant weight support.

Summary: In this meta-analysis, the potential effect of backward walking training (BWT) on walking function improvement among stroke patients was investigated. The results showed that BWT significantly improved motor functions, including walk speed, cadence, balance, paretic step length, and stride length, among stroke patients.

Summary: The study examines the variability of spatiotemporal and propulsive gait variables during adaptive treadmill walking and compares them to fixed-speed treadmill walking. It finds that propulsion has stronger persistence in the adaptive condition and there are differences between adaptive and fixed-speed modes.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of altering terrain unevenness on gait kinematics, and found that increasing terrain unevenness led to greater stride-to-stride variability and reduced perceived stability in participants.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between walking speed and spatiotemporal symmetry in chronic stroke patients, as well as to understand the effects of High-Intensity Speed-Based Treadmill Training (HISTT) on walking spatiotemporal symmetry. The results showed that walking speed was associated with spatiotemporal symmetry, and while HISTT improved walking speed, it did not systematically improve or worsen spatiotemporal symmetry.

Summary: This study analyzes the gait differences caused by the physical factors of treadmill walking. The results show that the lower-limb joint kinematics are the same under ideal treadmill conditions, regardless of body mass and walking speed. However, kinematic differences are observed under non-ideal treadmill conditions.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of stroke lesion location and size on lateropulsion in right hemisphere stroke patients. Results showed that lesion size of the right hemisphere was the primary factor associated with lateropulsion. These findings may be useful for planning rehabilitation strategies and understanding the pathophysiology of lateropulsion in stroke patients.

Summary: The study aimed to assess changes in trunk muscle activity due to weight-bearing and different gait postures. The results showed that unilateral weight-bearing tasks significantly affected the activity of trunk muscles, and abnormal gait postures may increase the incidence of chronic lower back pain.
