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

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 gai...

Description
Summary: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. 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. Trunk acceleration was quantified using acceleration root mean square (RMS) and stride regularity (SR) indices. This study found statistically significant longitudinal changes in gait speed (p
