Changes in spatiotemporal gait variables over time during a test of functional capacity after stroke

BackgroundGait dysfunction and fatigue are common post-stroke, though it is unclear how extended walking activity, as would be performed during activities of daily living, may change over time. The purpose of this study was to examine if spatial and temporal gait variables deteriorate during an extended bout of walking in a test of functional capacity after stroke.Methods24 community dwelling, independently ambulating individuals greater than 3 …
