Quantitative assessment for flexed-elbow deformity during gait following botulinum toxin A treatment
Involuntary flexed-elbow deformity is one of the most common deformities caused by spasticity and a positive sign of upper motor neuron syndrome [1]. In recent years, botulinum toxin A (BoNTA) has been widely used to reduce spasticity in cases of cerebral palsy [2,3], stroke [4 –8], traumatic brain injury [9], and spinal cord injury [10]. A meta-analysis [4] and several randomized controlled trials [5–8] reported the beneficial effects of BoNTA injection for upper-limb spasticity in stroke patients.

Pelvic excursion during walking post-stroke: A novel classification system
Gait speed, step asymmetry, metabolic cost, and muscle activity patterns during walking have all been used to classify hemiparetic gait dysfunction [1 –5]. Often, researchers and clinicians use gait speed changes to assess treatment-related improvements without regard to the neuromechanical walking pattern. On this background, hemiparetic gait dysfunction is only moderately responsive to treatment [6,7].

Net ankle quasi-stiffness is influenced by walking speed but not age for older adult women
During the period from the first instance of the plantarflexion moment to the maximum dorsiflexion angle, the plantar flexors act eccentrically to control the rate and timing of the ankle ’s dorsiflexion [1–4]. This plantar flexor function is important for controlling the shank’s rotation as well as influencing the kinetics, energetics, propulsion, support, and forward progression of gait [2–5]. Insufficient plantar flexor resistance due to plantar flexor weakness, an impairm ent common in patient populations including post-stroke [6], is indicative of reductions in the dynamic function of the joint.

Effect of different designs of ankle-foot orthoses on gait in patients with stroke: A systematic review
Stroke (cerebrovascular accident) is one of the main causes of mortality throughout the world [1]. Individuals with stroke and other neurological disorders have reduced walking capacity, which has a great impact on the daily life. Subjects ’ gait following the stroke is characterized by reduced walking speed, increased energy cost, asymmetry, foot drop, and insufficient muscle activity in the stance phase [2–6]. Regaining independent safe mobility is the frequent aim of stroke rehabilitation and an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is oft en used to improve mobility and balance as a part of this program [7].

Contralateral limb foot rotation during unilateral toe-in or toe-out walking in people with knee osteoarthritis
Gait modification is an important component of rehabilitation for a number of pathologies such as stroke, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) [1 –3]. These modifications are typically applied to a single limb [4,5]. Some transfer of modified motor patterning to the untrained (i.e. contralateral) limb has been found following unilateral training during tasks such as obstacle avoidance or slip testing [6–8]. However, little is known regard ing the movement patterns of the contralateral limb during the actual training of the target limb.

An assessment of the relationship between the items of the observational Wisconsin Gait Scale and the 3-dimensional spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters in post-stroke gait
Gait analysis is commonly used in clinical practice to diagnose gait disorders and to define suitable, adequately targeted and effective treatment programs [1 –3]. Gait analysis is the primary objective in the treatment approach to hemiparetic individuals after a stroke, both in terms of kinematics and spatiotemporal gait parameters, because hemiparetic individuals after a stroke experience numerous impairments in their walking skills which are reflecte d in spatiotemporal and kinematic gait parameters [4–7].

Over-focused? The relation between patients ’ inclination for conscious control and single- and dual-task motor performance after stroke
A motor task like walking is often assumed to be a relatively automated task that requires minimal cognitive involvement [1,2]. However, walking may invoke enhanced degrees of conscious control in special circumstances, such as under fatigue or stress, or in special groups, such as elderly with fear of falling or rehabilitating patients.[3 –7] For example, following a stroke individuals typically become strongly inclined to consciously guide their movements, and consider this necessary for ensuring successful locomotion and preventing falls [4].

Dynamic stability during split-belt walking and the relationship with step length symmetry
Each year a large percentage of individuals with common neuromusculoskeletal impairments (e.g., post amputation, stroke) experience a fall [1,2]. Not surprisingly, significant resources are directed toward identifying characteristics contributing to or preventing falls. Though falls are provoked by multiple factors, walking instability is recognized as a primary contributor, and measures assessing dynamic stability are increasingly prevalent in gait research [3 –11].

Influences of knee osteoarthritis and walking difficulty on knee kinematics and kinetics
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the U.S., with a lifetime risk of 45% [1] that sharply increases after age 50 [2]. As the leading cause of walking difficulty, knee OA, when combined with the co-morbidities of aging (e.g., stroke, cardiovascular), can contribute to risks of functional decline, early mortality, falls, and hospitalization [3 –5]. Knee OA can limit walking tolerance that results in subsequent health consequences [3,4]. Thus it is essential for clinicians to identify patients with walking limitations in the clinic.

Effectiveness of prowling with proprioceptive training on knee hyperextension among stroke subjects using videographic observation- a randomised controlled trial
In hemiparetic gait, an abnormal gait pattern among stroke subjects, balance impairment and increased energy consumption are commonly associated issues and if not corrected at initial stages may lead to muscle wasting and deformities [1]. Knee hyperextension a progressive, disabling, acquired deformity [2] is a frequent deviation seen among these subjects who are self-ambulant or walking with support [1,3].
