Abstract

Abstract : Optimization of gait rehabilitation using split-belt treadmills critically depends on our understanding of the roles of somatosensory perception and sensorimotor recalibration in perceiving gait asymmetry and adapting to split-belt walking. Recent evidence justifies the hypothesis that perception of gait asymmetry is based mainly on detection of temporal mismatches between afferent inputs at the spinal level. Abstract : Perception and adaptation of gait asymmetry during split-belt walking depend on somatosensory feedback and sensorimotor recalibration.
