Instrumented Gait Analysis for Assessing the Efficiency of a Complex Rehabilitation Program in Patients with Stroke – A Case Study

Annually, 15 million people worldwide suffer a stroke. Establishing the disability status after stroke is the key for the Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine point of view. 90% of those who have suffered a stroke show multiple impairments. The post stroke walking pattern has a major impact on the patient’s activity and participation capacity and to regain a functional gait is one of the most important goals of the rehabilitation intervention. The instrumented gait analysis is the key for accurately assessing the efficiency of a gait rehabilitation program and may be an important tool for designing personalized training. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a complex rehabilitation program on the walking pattern in patients with after stroke hemiparesis.
