| ABSTRACT |
Objectives:
The aim of this study was to analyze the change of lateral shift of Center of Pressure (CoP) according to the gait improvement in post-stroke hemiplegic patients and to investigate relationship between the change of motor grade and lateral shift of CoP.
Methods:
We measured the lateral shift of CoP and motor grade of eight post-stroke hemiplegic patients at the beginning of dependent gait and independent gait.
Results:
We found that CoP tended to be shifted to the non-affected side when patients started to walk independently. Furthermore, there was no relationship between the change of motor grade and lateral shift of CoP.
Conclusions:
This result may suggest it is more important to control the non-affected side than the affected side, at least until the beginning independent gait |
| Key words:
