Investigation of the Spatio-temporal Gait Parameters in Individuals With Hemiparesis: Effect of Lateralization

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Hemiparesis
• Interventions: Other: assessment of gait parameters

• Registration Number: NCT04672057
• Lead Sponsor: Pamukkale University

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lateralization on the spatio-temporal characteristics of gait in individuals with hemiparesis.

Detailed Description

A total of 108 individuals within the age range of 20-65 and 36 of whom are right hemiparetic (Group1; 16F, 20M), 36 of whom are left hemiparetic (Group2; 16F, 20M) and 36 of whom are healthy (Group3; 19F, 17M) have been included in the study. BTS G-Walk Gait Analysis System has been used to assess the spatio-temporal gait characteristics.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Left hemiparetics	assessment of gait parameters	left-sided affected hemiparetic individuals
Control	assessment of gait parameters	healthy individuals
Right hemiparetics	assessment of gait parameters	right-sided affected hemiparetic individuals

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
assessment of gait between in right and left hemiparetics	Measurement time is 10 minutes. Only one measurement was made.	A port was attached to the patient's L5-S1 level. In the gait analysis system, the results was transferred to the computer via bluetooth with the analysis port. The resulting report was generated automatically. The report measured gait speed, cadence, right and left step length, right and left stride length, double and single stride length, pelvic rotation, pelvic tilt, and pelvic oblique.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
assessment of gait between in hemiparetic and healthy individuals	Measurement time is 10 minutes. Only one measurement was made.	A port was attached to the patient's L5-S1 level. In the gait analysis system, the results was transferred to the computer via bluetooth with the analysis port. The resulting report was generated automatically. The report measured gait speed, cadence, right and left step length, right and left stride length, double and single stride length, pelvic rotation, pelvic tilt, and pelvic oblique.
