Effects of lower extremity strength and treadmill training on step length symmetry of post-stroke hemiparetic subjects : a preliminary study

Hemiparetic gait is a compensatory mechanism upon the walking impairment due to hemiparesis by stroke. It interferes with the functional and locomotor independence of individuals who sustain stroke. This study was conducted to determine the exercise training feasibility and practicality towards desi...
