To determine changes in power symmetry, gait symmetry, and functional outcomes for participants' poststroke (Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility) after participating in an intervention using a recumbent cycle with power biofeedback (BFB).

To determine changes in power symmetry, gait symmetry, and functional outcomes for participants' poststroke (Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility) after participating in an intervention using a recumbent cycle with power biofeedback (BFB). To determine how this intervention can impact gait asymmetry, a common disorder poststroke secondary to hemiparesis. Gait asymmetry is a difficult impairment to treat because it is difficult for both therapists and patients to perceive. Training with BFB allows for quantitative data about the power production or lack of that directly impacts safety in walking, increased energy expenditure, and decreased gait speed.
