Relationship of Observed Gait Deviations with Physical Functions and Walking Ability in Stroke Patients Nagawa, Yonmi Tsushima, Eiki 490 医学 stroke gait observation gait deviation We conducted an observational gait assessment and examined the relationship of gait deviations with physical function and walking ability. A total of 57 stroke patients admitted to a rehabilitation unit, who could walk unaided or under close supervision, were enrolled in the study （37 men; 20 women; 62.2±11.2 years of age; elapsed time since the onset of stroke: 90.9±39.9 days）. We combined and partially modified several assessment forms used for gait evaluation. With regard to physical functions, we assessed: lower limb paralysis, sensory impairment, lower limb spasticity, range of motion, lower limb muscle strength, lower limb weight-bearing, and standing balance. We conducted a 10-meter walk test to assess patients’ walking ability. In order to identify variables that affect the total gait assessment score, a multiple regression analysis was performed. The following parameters were statistically associated with gait deviations: number of steps required to walk 10 meters（ standard partial regression coefficient=0.68）, affected side hip abductor strength （–0.23）, ankle plantar flexor spasticity （0.18）, and maximum weight-bearing rate on the unaffected side （0.16）. We established the relationship of gait deviations with physical function and walking ability. 弘前医学. 67, 2017, p.166-178 弘前大学大学院医学研究科・弘前医学会 2017-02-27 eng journal article VoR http://hdl.handle.net/10129/6017 https://hirosaki.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/3904 AN00211444 0439-1721 弘前医学 67 2-4 166 178 https://hirosaki.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/3904/files/HirosakiMedJ_67(2-4)_166.pdf application/pdf 268.1 kB 2018-03-13
