ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to determine the clinical significance of the anterior-posterior displacement of the center of pressure in the foot (apCoP) in post-stroke gait rehabilitation.DESIGN:
This observational study was conducted in a tertiary hospital. Forty-two subacute post-stroke patients were included. The apCoP was measured twice with a wearable insole foot pressure measurement system, time interval more than 7 days. The results were compared between the first and second tests. The relationship between apCoP changes and spatiotemporal parameter changes were investigated.RESULTS:
The apCoP increased significantly between tests. The change in walking speed was significantly predicted by the change in the apCoP on the less affected side. The change in asymmetry of the single support phase was significantly correlated with the change in the apCoP on the more affected side.CONCLUSION:
The change in apCoP provides information about the restoration of body support, body forward progression control, and propulsion in the more affected lower limb during early post-stroke rehabilitation. The apCoP can be a useful parameter for the monitoring of functional changes in the more affected lower limb during post-stroke gait rehabilitation.
