Objective: The purpose of this study is to quantitatively analyze plantar pressure distribution across different foot regions to compare differences between affected and unaffected sides and identify asymmetric characteristics in stroke patients.
Background: Stroke is a condition characterized by various neurological symptoms, including motor impairment, sensory disturbances, speech difficulties, impaired consciousness, and limb paralysis resulting from brain damage. Most stroke patients exhibit abnormal gait patterns, negatively impacting their health and quality of life. Understanding gait and balance functions can help clinicians identify critical factors during stroke rehabilitation. The plantar pressure measurement system, one of the gait evaluation methods, can measure and analyze variables such as force, pressure, and timing according to specific foot regions.
Method: Thirty-two community-dwelling stroke patients participated in this study. A plantar pressure measurement system was used to evaluate plantar pressure distribution characteristics. Temporal gait variables, including step time, stance phase, swing phase, single support, double support, and cadence, were measured. For plantar pressure analysis, each foot was divided into seven regions, and maximum force, peak pressure, mean pressure, contact area, and contact time were recorded. All variables were separately analyzed and compared between affected and unaffected sides.
Results: The unaffected side showed significantly higher values for temporal gait variables, including step time, stance phase, swing phase, single support, double support, and cadence. Plantar pressure variables were also higher on the unaffected side compared to the affected side. On the affected side, plantar pressure variables were greater in lateral foot regions compared to medial foot regions.
Conclusion: This study confirmed the presence of asymmetric plantar pressure distribution and gait characteristics between the affected and unaffected sides in stroke patients. Regarding plantar pressure variables, stroke patients exhibited a gait pattern that relied more on the unaffected side. Furthermore, the affected lower extremity tended to support the ground more in the lateral areas rather than the medial areas during gait.
Application: The findings of this study can serve as valuable data for developing rehabilitation programs aimed at improving symmetrical gait and gait stability in stroke patients.
