• Aim– Determine magnitude and duration of asymmetry in limb
loading (LL) and limb unloading (LU) in hemiparesis. – Determine relationship with functional walking status and
specific kinematic and kinetic variables during walking.
• Relevance– Understanding LL and LU asymmetry will provide insight
into changes in poststroke individuals’ locomotion and inspire new walking rehabilitation strategies.

Method• Participants: – 44 people with chronic hemiparesis and 18 nondisabled
controls.
• Protocol– Participants walked on instrumented split-belt treadmill
without assistive device or ankle foot orthosis for 3 walking trials at self-selected speed.• Controls walked at self-selected speed, 0.3 m/s, and 0.6 m/s.
– 12-camera motion analysis system collected data as subjects walked.
– Variables calculated during double-limb support phases of gait (when LL and LU occur).

Results• LL Magnitude– At self-selected speeds:• Magnitude less in paretic vs nonparetic leg and controls.
– At matched speeds:• No significant difference between paretic leg and controls
when considering subjects with hemiparesis as single group. • When considered separately, reduced paretic leg LL was
related to functional walking status in hemiparesis group. • Slower individuals had significant differences in LL vs
controls.• Community ambulators not significantly different.

Results (cont’d.)• LU Magnitude– At self-selected and matched speeds:
• For household and limited community ambulators, significantly lower in paretic vs nonparetic leg and controls
• No significant difference between community ambulators and nonparetic leg and controls.
• LL/LU Timing & Pattern– Household ambulators
• LL time of nonparetic leg significantly less than limited community ambulators and community ambulators.
• LU time greater than limited community ambulators and community ambulators.

Results (cont’d.)• Mediolateral (M-L) GRF and LL/LU– No significant correlation.
• Knee Angle and LL/LU– No significant correlation.
• M-L Leg Angle and LL/LU– Subjects with reduced paretic leg LL placed paretic leg further
lateral relative to pelvis center of mass. – LL negatively associated with leg angle of paretic side in M-L
direction during 1st double-support phase. – Paretic leg M-L angle significantly greater than nonparetic leg and
controls at matched speeds.

Conclusion• Paretic LL magnitude was reduced, while duration
was increased vs nonparetic leg and controls walking at matched speeds.
• 3 LL/LU patterns were identified: concave, convex, and linear.
• Results indicate that people with hemiparesis make biomechanical adjustments to maintain a steady walking state. – Characterization of these deviations may inspire new
strategies for rehabilitation.
