Poststroke hemiplegic gait is a mixture of deviations and compensatory motion
dictated by residual functions, and thus each patient must be examined and
his/her unique gait pattern identified and documented. Quantitative 3-dimensional
gait analysis is the best way to understand the complex multifactorial gait
dysfunction in hemiparetic patients. The goals of the present work are to (1)
review the temporospatial, kinematic, kinetic, and electromyographic deviations
from normal gait that commonly occur after stroke and are of clinical
significance, along with the most likely causes of these deviations, and (2)
differentiate the departures from normal gait parameters that arise as a direct
consequence of poststroke motor problems and those that arise as learned or
adaptive compensations for poststroke motor problems.
