Effects of a Positive Slope Treadmill Training in Individuals After Stroke. (Hemislope)

Evaluation of Biomechanical and Functional Effects of a Positive Slope Treadmill Training in Individuals After Stroke.

The main objective of this study is to determine if a single session of treadmill training with a positive slope improves the kinematic parameters of the hip, knee and ankle on the paretic lower limb.

Secondarily we will quantify the efficiency of a such training on kinetic and functional parameters.

comparison between patients having a single session of treadmill training with slope and those having a single session of treadmill training with no slope
