Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in developed countries, yet remains a poorly treated condition.. Variability is also one of the key determinants of gait after stroke. This book aims at emphasizing the importance of early ambulatory assessment and training through limb overloading. Restoring human motor and cognitive function has been a fascinating research area during the last century. Interfacing the human nervous system with electro-mechanical rehabilitation machines is facing its crucial passage from research to clinical practice, enhancing...

The average walking speed of stroke patients is lower than that of healthy controls but the reported values vary depending on the severity of the stroke, the time post-stroke and the age of the subjects.Compared to healthy controls, patients stride lengths are smaller and the duration of gait cycles is longer.Hemiplegic stroke patients show prolonged double support phases in their gait cycle, especially the double support phase that precedes the swing phase of the hemiplegic side.This book is designed to give a condensed and rapid review of the essentials of anatomy and physiology knowledge...
