Step Length Asymmetry Is Indicative of Compensatory Mechanisms Used to Overcome Plantarflexor Weakness in Post-stroke Hemiparetic Gait
Post-stroke hemiparetic subjects walk with asymmetrical step lengths that are highly variable between subjects and may be indicative of underlying compensatory mechanisms utilized to overcome paretic plantarflexor impairment. The goal of this study was to examine the walking biomechanics of post-stroke hemiparetic subjects grouped by step length asymmetry and compare them to healthy controls wa...
متن کاملRepeated split-belt treadmill training improves poststroke step length asymmetry.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Previous studies suggest that error augmentation may be used as a strategy to achieve longer-term changes in gait deficits after stroke. The purpose of this study was to determine whether longer-term improvements in step length asymmetry could be achieved with repeated split-belt treadmill walking practice using an error augmentation strategy. METHODS 13 persons with ...
متن کاملStep length asymmetry is representative of compensatory mechanisms used in post-stroke hemiparetic walking.
Post-stroke hemiparetic subjects walk with asymmetrical step lengths that are highly variable between subjects and may be indicative of the underlying impairments and compensatory mechanisms used. The goal of this study was to determine if post-stroke hemiparetic subjects grouped by step length asymmetry have similar abnormal walking biomechanics compared to non-impaired walkers. Kinematic and ...
متن کاملRelationship between step length asymmetry and walking performance in subjects with chronic hemiparesis.
OBJECTIVE To understand the relationship between step length asymmetry and hemiparetic walking performance. DESIGN Descriptive. SETTING Gait analysis laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Convenience sample of 49 subjects with chronic hemiparesis. INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Subjects walked at their self-selected walking speed over both an instrumented mat and forceplates t...
متن کاملGait asymmetry of transfemoral amputees using mechanical and microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees.
BACKGROUND Amputees walk with an asymmetrical gait, which may lead to future musculoskeletal degenerative changes. The purpose of this study was to compare the gait asymmetry of active transfemoral amputees while using a passive mechanical knee joint or a microprocessor-controlled knee joint. METHODS Objective 3D gait measurements were obtained in 15 subjects (12 men and 3 women; age 42, rang...
