Knee loading patterns of the non-paretic and paretic legs during post-stroke gait
Despite improvements with rehabilitation, individuals with stroke are left with significant gait deviations including altered joint kinematics, spatiotemporal asymmetry, asymmetric loading through the lower extremities and altered muscle activation patterns [1 –4]. These deviations from the typical gait pattern of a healthy adult can have an immediate impact on independence and walking function in individuals post-stroke [5]. Additionally, some of these deviations (e.g. temporal gait asymmetry, excessive muscle activity) could contribute to secondary mu sculoskeletal (MSK) complications (e.g.

Immediate and short-term effects of wearing a single textured insole on symmetry of stance and gait in healthy adults
Asymmetry of stance and gait have long been known as residual abnormalities in individuals with different neurological and musculoskeletal impairments. For example, people with unilateral stroke commonly exhibit asymmetry of weight bearing [1] and gait (seen as reduced step length, stance time, and single support time on the affected limb relative to the unaffected limb [2]), while healthy adults do not show such asymmetry [3]. Furthermore, asymmetry of gait could be related to impairments in balance [2,4].

Ankle muscle coactivation during gait is decreased immediately after anterior weight shift practice in adults after stroke
Gait is a fundamental component of activities of daily living, and regaining the ability to walk is a major goal of stroke rehabilitation for adults with hemiplegia [1]. Common characteristics of hemiplegic gait are decreased gait speed [2], asymmetrical gait pattern [2], and increased energetic cost [3]. These gait dysfunctions are mainly caused by impaired function of the paretic lower limb due to muscle weakness [4], sensory dysfunction [4], and disturbed control of lower limb muscle activation [5,6].

The effect of weight-bearing asymmetry on dynamic postural stability in healthy young individuals
Postural instability is a common symptom of lateralized disorders, such as stroke. In addition, these patients often demonstrate Weight-Bearing Asymmetry (WBA) in favor of the unaffected leg [1]. In cross-sectional studies, greater WBA was found to be associated with reduced postural stability during quiet stance [2–4]. In clinical populations, however, WBA is only one of the many deficits that may influence postural instability. Therefore, the functional significance of WBA with regards to postural instability in individuals with lateralized disorders is not fully understood.

Using a goal attainment scale in the evaluation of outcomes in patients with diplegic cerebral palsy
Three-dimensional gait analysis is a standard evaluation of ambulant patients with cerebral palsy (CP). However, kinematic and kinetic outcomes may overlook a patient's goals and individual needs, such as pain relief. A Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) provides subjective information about a patient's needs. Goal Attainment Scales (GASs) were initially used in the 1960s in mental health [1], but have since been applied to other aspects of health care including stroke rehabilitation and geriatric care [2,3].
