abstract="Post-stroke hemiplegic gait is a mixture of deviations and compensatory motion dictated by residual functions; therefore, each patient must be examined and his/her unique gait pattern must be identified and documented. Quantitative 3-dimensional gait analysis is the best way to understand the complex multifactorial gait dysfunction in hemiparetic patients. The present paper aimed to accomplish the following: (1) review the temporospatial, kinematic, kinetic, and electromyographic deviations from normal gait that commonly occur following stroke and are of clinical significance, and the most likely causes of these deviations: (2) differentiate the departures from normal gait parameters that arise as a direct consequence of post-stroke motor problems, and those that arise as learned or adaptive compensations for post-stroke motor problems.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
