 note = {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},
