Abstract

Measurements of muscle strength have been clearly established as predictors of gait performance in patients with stroke. By examining the previously published data, strength deficits of the paretic side of 26 patients with stroke are also shown to correlate with gait performance (speed [r = -.638]). Paretic muscle strength deficits, then, may also be considered valid predictors of gait performance.
