Understanding inconsistent step-length asymmetries across hemiplegic stroke patients: impairments and compensatory gait.
BACKGROUND In hemiplegic gait, step length typically differs in magnitude between paretic and nonparetic sides. However, the direction of step-length asymmetry varies across stroke patients. OBJECTIVE The study sought to understand directional variations in step-length asymmetry in terms of asymmetries in forward foot placement relative to the trunk and trunk progression. METHODS A total of...
متن کاملKinematic and kinetic asymmetries in hemiplegic patients' gait initiation patterns.
OBJECTIVE To assess the kinetic and kinematic characteristics of hemiplegic stroke patients' gait initiation patterns during the various gait initiation phases. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS Gait initiation was studied in 3 hemiplegic subjects with a spastic equinus varus foot and 3 control subjects. METHODS Temporal and kinetic analysis of gait initiation was performed with 2 AMTI force plates, and ...
متن کاملThe effect of step climbing exercise on balance and step length in chronic stroke patients.
[Purpose] The objective of this study was to examine the effect of step climbing exercise on the walking ability of stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Among hospitalized stroke patients, 24 were selected based on the study criteria and randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (12 patients) and a control group (12 patients). The patients in both groups participated in 15-minu...
متن کاملThe Effect of Rocker Bar Ankle Foot Orthosis on Functional Mobility in Post-Stroke Hemiplegic Patients
Objectives: Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are widely utilized to improve walking ability in hemiplegic patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Rocker bar Ankle Foot Orthosis (RAFO) on functional mobility in post-stroke hemiplegic patients. Methods: Fifteen hemiplegic patients (men and women) who were at least 6-months post-stroke and able to walk without assistive device for...
متن کاملEvaluation of Practical Gait Endurance in Hemiplegic Patients after Stroke
For the purpose of examining the appropriate evaluation method for practical gait endurance of hemiplegic patients, 2-min, 3-min, and 6-min walk distances, physiological cost index 2 min, 3 min, and 6 min after the gait initiation, aerobic work threshold, and maximum oxygen intake were measured. Thirty-six hemiplegic patients were divided into 2 groups; those who could and could not walk more t...
