- Stroke affects 1M+ people in the UK, with over 100,000 new stroke survivors every year. This is the first study giving systematic and detailed evidence of the effectiveness of an innovative, simple, low-cost approach to gait rehabilitation for people following hemiparetic stroke. It provides the first evidenced criteria for matching applicability to different categories of stroke survivor. Low-cost mass-marketed wearable haptic devices for self-use based on this research have the capacity to improve mobility for hundreds of thousands, increasing independence, building bone mineral density, reducing life-threatening fall injuries, and saving costs for health and social services.
