Table 2.
Gait speed, step width and step length variables are normalized to height (mean and SD).
No AFO | AFO | P-value | |
---|---|---|---|
Gait speed (s−1) | .39 (.08) | .42 (.07) | .19 |
Step width | .13 (.03) | .12 (.03) | .22 |
Paretic step length | .29 (.05) | .31 (.05) | .30 |
Non-paretic step length | .24 (.06) | .27 (.06) | .03* |
Paretic swing time (% gait cycle) | 47.65 (4.6) | 46.15 (3.5) | .16 |
Non-paretic swing time (% gait cycle) | 31.02 (2.9) | 30.95 (3.7) | .95 |
