Many stroke survivors have walking limitations. The results of gait training in
individuals who have had strokes are characterized by large confidence intervals
for mean differences in gait parameters. An individualized approach to therapy is
needed, based on personalized gait pattern indicators and sensorimotor
impairments. Three-dimensional gait analysis can help clinicians design the best
locomotor training strategy for their patients, and can determine whether a
patient is responding to the chosen intervention. Spatiotemporal parameters allow
the characterization of the gait of hemiparetic patients but, used alone, they do
not allow the cause of the deviations to be inferred.
