Abstract

The analysis of upper-body acceleration is a promising and simple technique to quantitatively assess dynamic gait stability. However, this method has rarely been used for people with stroke, probably because of some technical issues still not addressed. We evaluated the root-mean-square (RMS) and harmonic ratio of trunk accelerations for a group of 15 inpatients with subacute stroke who were able to walk (61.4 +/- 14.9 yr) and compared them with those of an age-matched group of nondisabled subjects (65.1 +/- 8.8 yr) and those of a highly functional group of young nondisabled subjects (29.0 +/- 5.0 yr).
