Effects of extended effortful activity on spatio-temporal parameters of gait in individuals with stroke
Abstract
Neuromuscular dyscontrol during gait following stroke may be further compromised by increased susceptibility to fatigue. Our purpose was to examine how extended effortful activity affected spatio-temporal gait parameters after stroke. The influence of sub-maximal exercise was assessed among 26 stroke survivors who performed the Six-Minute Walk Test with distance recorded every 2 min. Walking distance decreased 5.8 (S.D. 6.9) m in the second …
