Are you that blitheringly stupid? Survivors don't want predictions; they want EXACT RECOVERY PROTOCOLS! Right now, stroke rehab is a complete failure; 10% full recovery! Why aren't you solving that problem? Predictions are fucking lazy crapola; YOU'RE FIRED!
Predicting Gait Outcomes in Stroke Rehabilitation: The Contribution of Balance Control
Introduction
Chronic stroke survivors often experience gait impairments due to residual motor deficits, affecting their functional mobility and independence. Balance, as measured by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), plays a critical role in walking ability. Gait dysfunction in stroke survivors is commonly characterized by reduced walking speed, asymmetrical step patterns, and altered temporal parameters, which can hinder community ambulation. Understanding the interplay between balance and gait parameters is essential for optimizing rehabilitation strategies aimed at enhancing stroke mobility. Several studies have explored the relationship between BBS scores and various gait parameters in stroke, consistently showing associations between balance and walking performance. However, despite these associations, there is a lack of research investigating whether BBS can predict specific spatiotemporal gait parameters. This study aims to examine the extend to which balance, as measured by BBS, predict key spatiotemporal gait parameters, including step length, step width, step time, cadence, gait speed, and gait symmetry, in chronic stroke survivors.
