About

The aim of the biomedical research is to determine the informativeness and prognostic factors of surface electromyography by assessing the probability of recovery of balance and gait parameters in the second stage of rehabilitation of persons with cerebral infarction.

Gait and balance measurement

Other group

Description:

Gait analysis with surface electromyography measurement: surface electromyography signals (of affected and non-affected legs), gait and stance parameters are collected while the patient walks for 30 seconds on the treadmill with integrated sensor equipment (for measuring the force distribution). Balance analysis with Biodex balance system SD: measurements of postural stability, fall risk, limits of stability, sensory integration are collected.
