Relationship between asymmetry of quiet standing balance control and walking post-stroke

Abstract: Spatial and temporal gait asymmetry is common after stroke. Such asymmetric gait is inefficient, can contribute to instability and may lead to musculoskeletal injury. However, understanding of the determinants of such gait asymmetry remains incomplete. The current study is focused on revealing if there is a link between asymmetry during the control of standing balance and asymmetry during walking. This study involved review of data from 94 individuals with stroke referred to a gait and balance clinic. Particip… Show more

“…Regression analyses were conducted to quantify relationships between balance confidence and the outcome measures [11], using multiple linear regression [22] for the continuous outcome measures and binary logistic regression [12] for the binary outcome measures. Only individuals who completed each assessment were included in the analysis for that assessment.…”

“…The feet were positioned with one foot on each of two adjacent force plates (Advanced Mechanical Technology, Inc., Watertown, MA), according to a standardized template [21]. Ground reaction forces and moments were sampled at 256 Hz, and low-pass filtered using a dual-pass, fourth-order Butterworth filter (cutoff frequency: 10 Hz [22]). Net and individual-limb COP signals were calculated for both the antero-posterior and medio-lateral directions.…”

“…28 This delay may also translate to slowed steadystate walking. Hesitation when loading the paretic leg may partially explain slow walking speeds 29 and temporal asymmetry 30,31 among those with post-stroke motor impairment. However, it is important to acknowledge that only the ML COP was used in the identification of APAs and associated characteristics in the present study.…”

“…According to the relationship between the severity of post-stroke motor deficits and the weight-bearing distribution, some evidence indicates that individuals with more severe hemiparesis tend to adopt a more asymmetric strategy when compared to those with mild hemiparesis 6,9,11,13 . In this regard, Mundim et al 7 have hypothesized that the lower limb predominantly used for support during an upright stance is established by preference for post-stroke hemiparesis patients presenting with mild to moderate hemiparesis, or by convenience in the patients with moderate to severe hemiparesis.…”
