Northwestern University's Sponsored Research Division received a $440,287 Project Grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031. The grant funds the STABLE (Stroke Training to Advance Balance During Locomotor Experiences) Trial, a research initiative designed to assess the effectiveness of high-intensity gait training in a movement amplification environment (MAE) for improving walking balance and motor control in people with chronic stroke (PWCS). The primary deliverables include a controlled clinical trial comparing gait rehabilitation outcomes across 50 participants divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental intervention utilizes a cable-driven robotic system that applies lateral forces to the pelvis proportional to real-time center of mass dynamics during treadmill walking, intended to enhance sensorimotor feedback and accelerate motor learning. Research outputs will quantify improvements in center of mass control dynamics and functional walking outcomes through 20 training sessions per participant, with results expected to contribute evidence-based rehabilitation strategies for addressing critical impairments in walking balance among individuals with chronic stroke.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
