Aktuelle Gerontologie
|August 1, 1977
Abstract:
The gait of 31 hemiplegics is analyzed with a multiplecomponents force-plate. The healthy and paretic side differ in 5 of 7 parameters. The difference betwen the left and right side is bigger in the right hemiplegic, because in the left hemiplegic, the healthy side is more disturbed as in the right hemiplegic. That makes less differences between healthy and paretic side. The variability of the single steps is bigger in subjects with a bad gait. The method is suitable to screen the change of the gait and its progress.
