Methods : The data were collected by each 15 adult stroke patients. The treatment was based on Bobath and conventional approach. Temporal and spatial parameters of gait were analysed for using the computerized GAITRite system. Results : The gait step (p<.05), gait velocity (p<.05), cadence (p<.05) and step length (p<.05) was significantly different with the Bobath method. The Gait step (p<.05) and gait velocity (p<.05) was significantly different with the conventional method. But the cadence and step length was not significantly increased in the conventional method. Conclusion : The Bobath method is more useful to improve the gait in hemiplegic patients than conventional method.
