Abstract:Objective: Patients with chronic stroke capable of independent gait were classified into functional ambulation category (FAC) 4 or 5, and the kinetic and kinematic data on their lower limb joints on the affected and unaffected sides were compared with that of healthy individuals. Finally, the qualitative changes in the gait of patients with stroke were investigated based on the differences in FAC scores.Methods: Twelve healthy participants and 19 patients with stroke capable of independent gait were included. … Show more
