Background: In order to improve the daily life of stroke patients, it is necessary to restore walking performance. Improving gait performance is one of the main goals for stroke rehabilitation.
Objectives: To investigate the change in gait parameters through evaluation of one stroke patient before, during, and after wearing the weight vest.
Design: A case study.
Methods: This study is an ABA study design. In principle, one assessment per day (A1) was measured three times without wearing the weight vest.
Intervention assessment (B) was performed 6 times while wearing the weight vest. The second baseline evaluation (A2) was measured three times with the weight vest removed again.
Results: The gait speed was increased when the weight vest was removed than when the weight vest was worn. Also, gait symmetry increased when wearing the weight vest.
Conclusion: Wearing the weight vest can reduce the gait asymmetry in stroke patients and increase the gait speed after wearing the weight vest.
