Speed dependency of gait parameters in patients with sensoric disorders

Introduction: Deficits in sensoric systems lead to postural disturbancies during standing and walking. The abnormalities and coping strategies during standing in patients with sensoric deficits have been intensively investigated, however, little is known about these processes during walking. Dynamic balance strategies seem to be fundamentally different from static balance control. In order to answer this issues, we performed a study to investigate gait abnormalities in patients with different sensoric deficits. Moreover, the study investigated specific compansatory dynamic balance strategies in the patients. Met…
