Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the gait of patients with hemiplegia, with or without the use of insole splint. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the insole splint improve the gait of these patients? Does any difference exist in the use of muscles? Participants will have to walk in the gait analysis' aisle with and without the insole splint, using wireless EMG device.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Gait speed Patients are going to walk 15 metres with speed (meter/second) decided from the patient himself. up to 6 months
Primary Gait cadence Patients are going to walk 15 meters with speed decided from the patient himself and will measure cadence (number of full steps per minute) up to 6 months
Primary Gait angles Patients are going to walk 15 meters with speed decided from the patient himself. More specific, the investigators are going to count Ankle angles, Knee angles, Hip angles (in degrees) during gait. up to 6 months
Primary Stride length Patients are going to walk 15 meters with speed decided from the patient himself. More specific, the investigators are going to count Stride length (a full walking cycle of both feet making 1 step each) up to 6 months
