About this trial
The purpose of this observational study is to track the recovery of stance duration symmetry during the first 6 months after stroke using wearable sensors and explore the influence of stroke specific factors (time since stroke, stroke type, location and paretic side).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Gait symmetry
Gait symmetry will be measured from the signals produced by two thigh mounted inertial motion units. The variable of prime interest is the difference in stance duration between the hemiplegic and non-hemiplegic sides
Time frame
From enrollment to 6 monthsSecondary outcomes

Rivermead Mobility Index
Standard, patient reported outcome measure of mobility

Ten meter walk test
Time it takes to walk 10 m. This is a well used, standardized objective test of mobility
