The Effects of Using Cane on Hemiplegic Gait of Strock Patients

The purpose of this study was to assess of cane use on the hemiplegic gait of strock patients in temporal and spatial variables. Subjects were thirteen including 8 men and 5 women. They could walk independently without cane, To compare the effect of walking with and without a cane, temporal and spatial variables was measured using GAITRite. Cane walking demonstrated increased stance time on the affected side, and swing time, step length on the sound side were increased, and base of support was decreased. In conclusion, hemiplegic gait pattern of strock patients were improved with cane than those not using a cane.
