Effect of Gait Training With Non-paretic Knee Immobilization on Lower Limb and Trunk Acceleration in a Post-stroke Hemiparetic Patient: A Case Report.

This case report describes a woman in her fifties who experienced a left-sided atherothrombotic cerebral infarction with lesions in the left corona radiata. The patient exhibited motor paralysis of the right upper and lower limbs. After a 10-day acute hospital stay, she was admitted to a rehabilitation facility for an intensive program of physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

Longitudinal changes in trunk acceleration and their relationship with gait parameters in post-stroke hemiplegic patients.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the longitudinal changes in trunk acceleration, gait speed, and paretic leg motion in patients with post-stroke hemiparesis, the relationships between variables at each time point, and whether initial trunk acceleration and gait parameters were related to gait speed 2 months later.

Methods: Gait was assessed monthly in patients who could walk under supervision after stroke onset. Gait parameters, including gait speed and trailing limb angle (TLA), were measured.
