Spatiotemporal strategies adopted to walk at fast speed in high- and low-functioning individuals post-stroke: A cross-sectional study

Until I get my spasticity cured I will never be able to walk fast or run.

Abstract: Study evaluated whether stroke survivors, categorized as low-functioning group or high-functioning based on gait speed, differed in their adoption of spatiotemporal strategies from preferred to fast pace, during unsupported overground walking. Additionally, the examined whether falls efficacy (fear of falling) was associated with changes in spatiotemporal parameters from preferred to fast pace. Forty-two community-dwelling adults, 6 months to 5 years post stroke, walked across an instrumented walkway at preferred and fast speeds. Spatiotemporal asymmetry did not change for low-functioning or the high-functioning group. Fear of falling had a moderately positive correlation with change in paretic step length and change in non-paretic step length. While both low- and high-functioning individuals used a step-lengthening strategy to walk at faster-than-preferred speeds, the gain in step lengths was limited in low-functioning individuals and was partially explained by falls efficacy.
