Effects of gait training with a cane and an augmented pressure sensor for enhancement of weight bearing over the affected lower limb in patients with stroke: a randomized controlled pilot study

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of gait training when using a cane with an augmented pressure sensor for enhancement of weight-bearing over the affected lower limb on the peak pressure force of the cane, muscle activation, and gait in patients with stroke. Design: Randomized controlled pilot study. Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation center. Participants: A total of 22 hemiparetic stroke patients were recruited and...
