About this study

A total of 108 individuals within the age range of 20-65 and 36 of whom are right hemiparetic (Group1; 16F, 20M), 36 of whom are left hemiparetic (Group2; 16F, 20M) and 36 of whom are healthy (Group3; 19F, 17M) have been included in the study. BTS G-Walk Gait Analysis System has been used to assess the spatio-temporal gait characteristics.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

for the hemiparetic individuals

  • Being between the ages of 20-65,
  • Having a stroke for the first time and one-sidedly,
  • Having a stable clinical state,
  • Having no cognitive disorder (Hodkinson Mental Test ≥ 8),
  • Having ≤ 3 from Modified Rankin Score,
  • Having no problems with vision and hearing.

for the healthy control group;

  • Being between the ages of 20-65
  • Having no neurological, musculosceletal, cardiac and cognitive problems that was undergone before and may affect walking.

Exclusion criteria

  • The existence of vision and hearing problems in both study and control groups,
  • The existence of orthopedic, neurological and psychiatric problems that may affect walking.

Treatment and study plan

assessment of gait parameters

Other

Gait parameters have been recourded with the use of BTS G-Walk Wireless Digital Walking Analysis System on a 10-meter smooth walking area.

Primary outcomes

  1. assessment of gait between in right and left hemiparetics

    Time frame: Measurement time is 10 minutes. Only one measurement was made.

    A port was attached to the patient's L5-S1 level. In the gait analysis system, the results was transferred to the computer via bluetooth with the analysis port. The resulting report was generated automatically. The report measured gait speed, cadence, right and left step length, right and left stride length, double and single stride length, pelvic rotation, pelvic tilt, and pelvic oblique.

Secondary outcomes

  1. assessment of gait between in hemiparetic and healthy individuals

    Time frame: Measurement time is 10 minutes. Only one measurement was made.

    A port was attached to the patient's L5-S1 level. In the gait analysis system, the results was transferred to the computer via bluetooth with the analysis port. The resulting report was generated automatically. The report measured gait speed, cadence, right and left step length, right and left stride length, double and single stride length, pelvic rotation, pelvic tilt, and pelvic oblique.
