- Abstract
The main objective of this study was to analyze the gait alterations of adults with hemiparesis after cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and compare it with healthy subjects. The sample consisted of 14 participants from the stroke group and 14 matched participants from the control group (CON). A three-dimensional gait analysis was performed using a kinemetry system. The parameters analyzed were velocity, stride length, stride width, cadence, and stride time, using the independent t test for comparisons between groups and considering p < 0.05 as a decision criterion. Participants in the stroke group had significantly lower mean values in all analyzed parameters. In addition, patients in the CVA group also had much lower values when compared to other studies with post-CVA patients, possibly due to the short period between the CVA (mean of 14.14 months) and the gait assessment.
