PURPOSE : The aim of this study is to compare the spatio-temporal gait parameters between paretic and non-paretic limb while stepping over the different obstacle’s heights in subjects with stroke.
METHODS : Nine subjects with stroke were participated in this study. Subjects were asked to step over obstacles with a different height. 8 camera motion analysis system(Motion Analysis Corporation, Santa Rosa, USA) was used to measure spatio-temporal parameters. The two way repeated measurement ANOVA was used to compare spati-temporal gait parameters between paretic and non-paretic limbs while stepping over a different obstacle’s height(0cm, 10cm, 20cm).
RESULTS : Step width, velocity, single supoort time, and double support time were not different among obstacle’s height(p>0.05) but stride length, step length, and cadence were significantly different(p>0.05). In stride length, cadence, and double support time, the interactions between obstacle’s heights and limbs were not different(p>0.05) but it was significantly different in velocity, step length, and single support time(p<0.05). Velocity, stride length, cadence, and double support times were not different between paretic limb and non-paretic limb(p>0.05) but step length and single support times were significantly different between paretic limb and non-paretic limb(p<0.05).
CONCLUSION : These results show that there are differences with spatio-temporal gait parameters among obstacle’s heights and between paretic and non-paretic limb during obstacle crossing in subjects with stroke.
