In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The purpose of this study is to fill some gaps in the literature by examining the effects of focus of attention on motor learning and motor performance of sit to stand in individuals post chronic stroke. This study will investigate whether an internal or external focus of attention can lead to improved use of the affected lower extremity during the sit to stand transition, while maintaining an upright trunk position. More specifically, the study has two purposes. The first is to determine whether an external or internal focus of attention would lead to better motor learning of sit to stand. This is measured by retention testing and transfer of the task to changes in affected lower extremity weight bearing during gait. The second purpose of this study is to investigate whether an internal or external focus of attention affects the performance of sit to stands during training.
