Individuals Poststroke Do Not Perceive Their Spatiotemporal Gait Asymmetries as Abnormal.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that asymmetry magnitudes need to exceed usual overground levels to reach conscious awareness. Therefore, we propose that the spatiotemporal asymmetry that is specific to each subject may need to be augmented beyond what they usually walk with in order to promote awareness of asymmetric gait patterns for long-term correction and learning.
