Overview
Brief Summary
This study investigates how balance and lower limb coordination impact the immediate walking speed of chronic stroke patients. Stroke-related motor impairments often lead to gait dysfunction, making it crucial to understand the relationship between these factors. Using clinical balance tests, coordination assessments, and a 10-meter walk test, the study aims to determine whether better balance and coordination correlate with faster walking speeds. Findings could help refine rehabilitation strategies by emphasizing balance and coordination training to improve mobility outcomes in stroke survivors
