Summary

The aim of this multi-center, randomized controlled study is to acquire and compare information on gait performance in patients with chronic hemiplegia (six months to two years post-stroke) who either continue to attend two physical therapy sessions per week for two months or who stop physical therapy sessions for two months.Following the initial screening, subjects will be randomized into two groups: one who continues attending two physical therapy sessions per week for two months, or the other one who stops physical therapy sessions for two months. Before and after those two months, a 3 days recording will be made using an ambulatory system called TRIDENT.
