Özet

The within-and between-session repeatability of time-distance and sagittal plane kinematic gait parameters were evaluated in 20 hemiparetic patients with sub-acute stroke. A test-retest design was used in which the patients were tested during two sessions within a 2 h period. Each session comprised three consecutive trials. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for time-distance parameters ranged from 0.82 to 0.99. The within- and between-session repeatability of pelvis, hip, knee and ankle kinematic waveforms were high: the mean coefficient of multiple correlations (CMCs) ranged from 0.85 to 0.95. The within-session coefficient of variation (CV%) for time-distance parameters ranged from 3.9 to 14.1, whereas, between-session CV% ranged from 6.1 to 17.2, showing similar but higher variability. The within- and between-session CV% for sagittal plane kinematics of the paretic lower limb ranged from 3.6 to 32.4.
