Résumé
Hemiparesis is a common disabling consequence of stroke that leads to abnormal gait patterns marked by asymmetries in step length, stance, and swing phases. Asymmetric gait patterns are correlated with decreased gait velocity and increased susceptibility to falls that can lead to serious injuries and hospitalizations.

Twenty-one participants who were more than one-year post-stroke received the treatment.

BACKGROUND
Hemiparesis is a common disabling consequence of stroke that leads to abnormal gait patterns marked by asymmetries in step length, stance, and swing phases. Asymmetric gait patterns are correlated with decreased gait velocity and increased susceptibility to falls that can lead to serious injuries and hospitalizations.
OBJECTIVE
In this single group, before and after study, treatment with the iStride
METHODS
Twelve 30-minute sessions of walking on the device were administered in each participant's home environment. Twenty-one participants who were more than one-year post-stroke received the treatment. The Ten-Meter Walk Test, Timed Up and Go Test, Berg Balance Scale, Functional Gait Assessment, and Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale were performed before and one week after treatment. Safety, treatment plan compliance, and subjective responses were also recorded during the study period.
RESULTS
Results demonstrate statistically significant improvement on all five outcome measures from before treatment to one week after the last treatment session (
CONCLUSIONS
The results indicate that the iStride
