Sixteen individuals with hemiparesis resulting in narrow base of support, were randomly placed into two equal groups, experimental and control. The experimental group was provided with a portable device that provided extrinsic auditory feedback information about base of support incorporated in the functional context of conventional gait therapy, whereas the control group received a conventional gait therapy only. Changes in step width with treatment were assessed with step print technique. The experimental group of subjects improved their step width with treatment from 0.09+/-0.003 m to 0.16+/-0.006 m while individuals assigned to the control group showed smaller improvement from 0.099+/-0.004 m to 0.13+/-0.003 m. While both groups demonstrated statistically significant improvement (p<0.05), the level of recovery of step width seen in the experimental group was greater.
