The link between weight shift asymmetry and gait disturbances in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients
Introduction While the asymmetry of body posture and the asymmetrical nature of hemiparetic gait in poststroke (PS) patients are well documented, the role of weight shift asymmetry in gait disorders after stroke remains unclear. Objective We examined the association of weight-bearing asymmetry (WBA) between paretic and nonparetic lower limbs during quiet standing with the degree of deviation ...
متن کاملRelationships between body symmetry during weight-bearing and functional reach among chronic hemiparetic patients.
BACKGROUND Postural control is often impaired in hemiparetic patients. During upright stance, hemiparetic subjects sway more than subjects with an unaffected hemibody, and they assume asymmetrical postures to place less weight on the affected side. OBJECTIVE To analyze functional reach and dependence on support devices among people with chronic hemiparesis and to investigate the relationships...

متن کاملWeight Bearing Asymmetry and Functional Ambulation Performance in Stroke Survivors
This study evaluated asymmetry of weight bearing on the lower limbs and the association between percentage weight bearing asymmetry (PWBA) and functional ambulation performance in ambulant stroke survivors. Participants were 53 stroke survivors (male = 35, female = 18) aged 40-86 years (mean=58.87; SD=9.21years) with hemiparesis. Weight bearing through the lower limbs in standing was assessed b...
متن کاملPerception of weight-bearing distribution during sit-to-stand tasks in hemiparetic and healthy individuals.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is unknown whether hemiparetic individuals are aware of their weight-bearing asymmetry during sit-to-stand tasks. This study compared the error between hemiparetic and healthy individuals' perception of weight-bearing and their actual weight-bearing distribution during the sit-to-stand task and analyzed the association between the knee extensor muscle strength and the ...
