Visuospatial working memory (VSWM) is crucial for strategic locomotor learning with visual feedback (VF) in individuals with chronic stroke. This finding suggests VSWM should be considered in designing post-stroke walking rehabilitation strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Motor Control

Background:

  • Visual feedback (VF) is vital for strategic motor learning in post-stroke gait rehabilitation.
  • The role of visuospatial working memory (VSWM) in supporting VF-guided motor correction during walking after stroke is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between VSWM and strategic learning during VF-guided locomotor adaptation in individuals with chronic stroke.
  • To assess if VSWM influences overall accuracy and improvement in accuracy over time during treadmill walking with VF.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-seven individuals with chronic stroke (>6 months post-stroke) participated.
  • Participants adapted to a split-belt treadmill (2:1 ratio) with real-time visual feedback of step lengths.

  • Strategic learning was quantified by overall accuracy and improvement in accuracy; VSWM was measured using the Wechsler Memory Scale-IV.

    • Main Results:

    • VSWM significantly explained variance in overall accuracy (ΔR² = .085, P = .013) after controlling for covariates.
    • VSWM also significantly explained variance in improvement in accuracy (ΔR² = .153, P < .001).

    Conclusions:

    • Visuospatial working memory appears to be important for strategic locomotor learning guided by visual feedback in individuals with chronic stroke.
    • These findings underscore the potential significance of VSWM in developing effective walking rehabilitation strategies for stroke survivors.
