Abstract
Introduction. Joint velocity has been used to determine spastic gait dysfunction, but never
been detected in patients with stroke. It relates dynamic muscle organization and force
generation during performing the tasks. Objectives of the study were investigated joint
velocity of affected and un-affected sides during gait.
Methods. Thirty patients with stroke and normal adults were evaluated gait patterns at their
preferred speed. Three dimensional gait motion analyzed velocities of hip flexion, knee
flexion and extension, and ankle plantarflexion and dorsiflexion.
Results. Affected side showed reduction of all joint angular velocities compared to normal
adults and un-affected side. Compensatory mechanism was found in un-affected side by
extremely increased velocities of hip and knee flexion.
Conclusion. Clearer picture of gait pattern in patients with stroke can be determined by joint
angular velocity. Not only affected, but also un-affected motion was changed from normal
pattern. Further study should investigate and verify information associating cause of
compensatory adaptation.
