The relationship between spatiotemporal gait asymmetry and balance in individuals with chronic stroke - Lewek MD, Bradley CE, Wutzke CJ, Zinder SM.
Falls are common after stroke and often attributed to poor balance. Falls often occur during walking, suggesting that walking patterns may induce a loss of balance. Gait after stroke is frequently spatiotemporally asymmetric, which may decrease balance. Th...
