Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hemiplegic gait after a stroke can result in a decreased gait speed and asymmetrical gait pattern. Normal gait patterns and speed are typically the ultimate goals of gait function in stroke rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of the Gait Enhancing and Motivating System-Ankle (GEMS-A) on gait function and pattern in stroke patients with hemiplegia.
