Symmetry of cortical planning for initiating stepping in sub-acute stroke

After stroke, many people exhibit altered movement patterns making normal performance of balance and walking difficult (Duncan et al., 1992). However, the influence of motor planning on performance of balance and walking post-stroke is not well understood. Motor planning is defined as the integration of sensory afferent information (Ghez et al., 1997), such as limb position and muscle force (Kandel et al., 2000), with a functional goal (Zimmermann et al., 2012) to generate a movement (Peters et al., 2015).
