This Observational study aims at the evaluation of stroke subjects with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) during the execution of a 6-Minute Walking test, to evaluate the associations between the kinematic parameters retrieved trough an IMU and the classical outcome scales. Moreover compare the stroke subjects with age-matched healthy subjects, and detect the differences of gait kinematic.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
46
An IMU was worn by the subjects during the execution of the 6MWT, to assess the kinematic parameters of gait.
