Abstract
In the majority of stroke patients, trunk function is impaired and characterized by diminished sitting balance, trunk coordination and muscle strength. However, there is no true consensus how these impairments are translated during walking after sub-acute stroke. Results showed that the hemiplegic gait pattern was characterized with increased thoracic flexion, pelvic hike and decreased rotational amplitude which more specifically resulted in more external rotation.
