Abstract

Recent studies have reported the neural mechanisms underlying gait and motor function recovery; neurorehabilitation involves application of these findings to clinical rehabilitation. This article focuses on post-stroke gait disorders. Gait disorder in patients with hemiplegic stroke is characterized by reduced walking speed, which is attributable to merged muscle synergies and a decreased trail limb angle. This paper describes the aforementioned factors and recent clinical research that confirms the role of the volume of gait as the most important factor, as well as evidence of various intervention methods. Furthermore, it is necessary to experience walking in various contexts and environments to achieve adaptive gait.
