Biomechanical Correlates of Falls Risk in Gait Impaired Stroke Survivors

Biomechanical Correlates of Falls Risk in Gait Impaired Stroke Survivors

Increased falls risk is prevalent among stroke survivors with gait impairments. Tripping is the leading cause of falls and it is highly associated with mid-swing Minimum Foot Clearance (MFC), when the foot’s vertical margin from the walking surface is minimal. The current study investigated MFC char...
