O 081 - Diagnostic value of the Duncan Ely test for assessing abnormal activity of the Rectus femoris during gait in stroke patients
Stiff knee gait is characterized by a diminished knee flexion during swing [1] and is commonly observed in children with cerebral palsy and stroke patients and can result in problems with footclearance leading to tripping and an increased risk of falling. Abnormal activity of the rectus femoris is often cited as one of the main causes of stiff knee gait [2]. The gold standard for measuring abnormal activity of the rectus femoris is electromyography. A clinical tool to assess abnormal activity of the m.

O 079 - Walking across the street: Gait adaptations in stroke patients when approaching an elevated surface
In stroke survivors that regain walking, outdoor walking is an important aim [1]. To achieve that, the management of tasks such as adapting to different levels (e.g. managing curbs) is essential. This needs locomotor pointing [2] and precise step regulation, including appropriate adaptation of joint kinematics to clear an obstacle and ensure correct positioning of the feet in relation to targets. This has to be achieved despite physical constraints, impaired balance and motor regulation (Fig. 1).

O 089 - A soft robotic exosuit assisting the paretic ankle in patients post-stroke: effect on muscle activation during overground walking
Stroke, the leading cause of long-term disability, often results in slow and energetically inefficient gait. Our group has developed a body-worn soft robot (exosuit) that provides ankle plantar- and dorsiflexion assistance, which has been demonstrated to improves paretic propulsion, foot ground clearance, and efficiency during treadmill walking [1 –3]. For the exosuit to be an effective tool for gait training during stroke rehabilitation, these effects need to translate to overground walking and with minimal slacking, i.e.

O 049 - Post-stroke balance responses after lateral perturbations to pelvis during treadmill walking
Ability to maintain balance during walking is often reduced in stroke survivors, where the activity of non-paretic leg after external gait perturbations usually compensates for the reduced activity of the paretic leg.

P 103 – “RehaBoard” Project: Implementing an algorithm to assist the interprofessional decision-making process towards improved gait in patients after stroke
An interdisciplinary team is believed to be effective in stroke rehabilitation [1]. In the “RehaBoard” project, neurologists, orthopaedics, physiotherapists, orthotists, biomedical engineers and computer scientists collaborate to combine medical, therapeutic and technical expertise for interpreting data, to agree on interdisciplinary treatment recommendations and to develop a method t o assess gait changes after conventional interventions to tailor therapy to patient`s needs. Decision-making in interprofessional teams is complex [2], because the clinical reasoning process is unique to each profession [3].

Effect of forward-directed aiding force on gait mechanics in healthy young adults while walking faster
Treadmills are a common exercise system that can be used to provide interactive force environments to either provide greater walking challenge by increasing speed [1] and belt inclination or reduce the effort to walk at a particular speed by providing a downward inclination that allows gravity to aid with the required propulsive force generation [2,3]. Externally applied aiding forces may be used to make the functional task of walking easier to practice the motor pattern of stepping and act as an effective interventional tool to increase walking speed of individuals after they have experienced a stroke [4].

Mirror therapy for improving lower limb motor function and mobility after stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Each year there are approximately 15 million strokes worldwide, making stroke one of the major causes of high level disability in the home and in the community [1]. In the USA, UK and Australia stroke is found to be a principle source of burden of care and of long term disability and it has been highlighted that these factors are accentuated and maintained by impaired walking ability [2 –4]. The rehabilitation of impaired lower limb functioning post stroke is a major issue and this is demonstrated by the fact that approximately 30% of patients with chronic stroke have persistent difficulties in independent ambulation [5].

The influence of early or delayed provision of ankle-foot orthoses on pelvis, hip and knee kinematics in patients with sub-acute stroke: a randomized controlled trial
Insufficient foot-clearance is an important alteration in the gait pattern often seen after stroke. It can be caused by decreased hip [1] and knee flexion [1,2] and decreased ankle dorsiflexion [1,3]. To overcome foot-clearance problems, individual stroke patients may use compensatory movement strategies like circumduction [2,4], increased hip flexion [3] and pelvic hiking [2,4,5], depending on the patient ’s specific impairments and chosen strategy. Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are often used to improve walking and are reported to facilitate, amongst others, toe-clearance in swing [6].

Haptic-based perception-empathy biofeedback system for balance rehabilitation in patients with chronic stroke: Concepts and initial feasibility study
Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability, annually experienced by approximately 250,000 individuals in Japan and remains a major healthcare and economic issue [1]. In stroke patients, a complex interplay of sensory, motor, and cognitive impairments causes balance issues [2]. Therefore, most stroke patients show increased postural sway during quiet standing and asymmetric weight distribution [2 –4]. Regarding post-stroke balance disability, impaired balance reportedly predicts falls in elderly patients post stroke [5].
