Changes in Gait Symmetry and Velocity After Stroke: A Cross-Sectional Study From Weeks to Years After Stroke
Abstract
BACKGROUND: There is little information about the quality of gait in the years following stroke. Long-term changes in mobility, using global indices of function, suggest a decline well after initial rehabilitation. However, global indices of mobility do not reveal more specific changes in walking competency or underlying gait-specific impairment.
OBJECTIVES: The authors used a cross-sectional design with gait-specific measures (velocity and …
