What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Following a cerebrovascular accident (CVA, also known as a stroke), hemiparesis occurs on the side opposite to the brain injury. This can lead to problems with walking and balance, as well as with arm movements whilst walking. The arm swing serves several important functions whilst walking, such as improving your balance and energy efficiency, and a good arm swing helps to reduce the likelihood of falling if you lose your balance. That is why regaining the ability to walk independently with the best possible arm swing is a key goal during rehabilitation for people who have had a stroke. This ensures that the risk of falling is minimised and that people can resume their daily lives as effectively as possible. The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of the abnormalities in arm swing whilst walking in people who have had a stroke, and how we can influence them. To identify
