Comparative study on overground gait of stroke survivors with a conventional cane and a haptic cane - Lee H, Eizad A, Lee G, Afzal MR, Yoon J, Oh MK, Yoon J.
The conventional cane (single cane) is widely used to promote gait ability of stroke survivors as it provides postural stability by extending the base of support. However, its use can reduce muscle activity in the user's paretic side and cause upper limb n...
