What is Trunk Biomechanics During Walking After Sub-acute Stroke and Its Relation to Lower Limb Impairments about?

## Background: Trunk function and lower limb strength seem to be the primary predictors for functional independence in acute stroke patients. gaining a better understanding of their relationship during walking aids in the identification of intrinsic trunk control deficits and underlying lower limb deficits resulting in compensatory trunk movements. ## Methods: Fifty-seven subjects with stroke and 57 age- and gender-matched subjects without disability were included. participants underwent an instrumented gait analysis with a standard total body plug-in-gait model, a clinical examination of the lower limbs based on range of motion, strength, muscle tone and several clinical assessment scales such as the trunk impairment scale, tinetti test and functional ambulation categories. spatiotemporal parameters and joint angular time profiles were compared between healthy adults and stroke survivors with severe and mild to moderate lower limb impairments. spm1d was used to compare the joint angular time profiles between groups. ## Findings: Truncal deviations are present during hemiplegic walking, sub-acute stroke survivors walked with increased thoracic tilt, a neutral frontal position of th
