Implication

Correlation analysis finds knee proprioception relates to gait symmetry but not static balance in chronic stroke patients, suggesting rehabilitation implications.

Key Points

This research aims to investigate the correlation between knee joint proprioception and balance ability and gait symmetry in chronic stroke patients.
Included 22 patients with chronic stroke, all past 6 months post-onset.
Assessed knee joint proprioception using Joint Position Sense error with an image capture system.
Evaluated balance and gait using the Zebris FDM-T treadmill and various metrics.
Knee joint proprioception significantly correlated with step length symmetry index (r = .432, p<.05).
Moderate negative correlation found between COP excursion length and gait line symmetry index (r = -.447, p<.05).
COP average velocity negatively correlated with gait line symmetry index (r = -.458, p<.05).
