Lower-limb motor coordination is significantly impaired in ambulatory people with chronic stroke: A cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSION: Motor coordination of the lower limbs is significantly impaired after stroke, but the deficits of the non-paretic lower limb (17%) appear not to be clinically relevant. These findings suggest that interventions prescribed to improve motor coordination after stroke should focus on the paretic lower limb and/or include bilateral activities.
