简介
Patterson KK, Parafianowicz I, Danells CJ, Closson V, Verrier MC, Staines WR, Black SE, McIlroy WE. Gait asymmetry in community ambulating stroke survivors.
OBJECTIVES
To determine the prevalence and severity of asymmetry among independently ambulating stroke survivors and to establish the association between velocity and asymmetry.
DESIGN
Descriptive analysis.
SETTING
Research gait laboratory in a Canadian hospital.
PARTICIPANTS
Community-dwelling, independently ambulating participants (N=54) with chronic stroke.
INTERVENTIONS
Not applicable.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
Overground gait velocity, symmetry ratios for temporal and spatial step parameters, and motor impairment of the foot and leg. Spatiotemporal parameters were collected with a pressure-sensitive mat. Motor impairment was measured clinically with the Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment.
RESULTS
Thirty (55.5 …
