Paretic Kinematic Determinants of Temporal Asymmetry in Subacute Post-Stroke Patients

Temporal asymmetry and kinematic analysis are useful outcome to study the negative consequences of gait alterations. Our objectives were: 1) to know the level of relationship between the peaks of extension and flexion of the hip, knee and ankle of the paretic limb and the temporal asymmetry, 2) to identify those kinematic alterations of the paretic limb that determine temporal asymmetry in subacute post-stroke patients.
