Effective assistance timing using characteristics of paretic ground reaction force in ankle robotic gait training for individuals with hemiparesis after stroke: a cross-sectional study
Our results suggest that applying PF assistance, particularly during the late paretic stance phase, might be effective for individuals with hemiparesis, as it led to improvements in paretic propulsion in both clusters. Additionally, the results suggest that for participants in Cluster A, it may be important to apply PF assistance at the 30-50% GC while monitoring changes in the GRF waveform data, as this approach may be more effective for some participants in improving paretic propulsion.
