title: Kinematic gait analysis in hemiplegic patients.
abstract: Temporal-distance variables of gait were investigated in 8 female and 23 male hemiplegic patients in order to assess the distribution of these variables according to functional ambulation category and to evaluate their validity. Video-recording technique was used for obtaining the temporal-distance values. Velocity, step-time, stride length and stride length in relation to lower extremity length proved to be valuable measures in the gait analysis, while cadence, step-time and step-time differential values seemed to be less important.
