About this trial
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.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients that can walk with or without the splint, having their first stroke episode at least two months ago and their hospitalisation period does not overcome six months, having also a diagnosis from a neurologist coming with a Brain CT-scan.
Patients must have use the insole splint during physiotherapy sessions for at least 1 week before their inclusion in the trial.
Patients must be able to communicate and fully understand the instructions given by the researchers.
Researchers are going to try to have a sex ratio 50/50.
Disqualifiers
Peripheral Neurological Damage.
Past or ongoing orthopedic or reumatologic disease that bothers patient's gait.
Past damage of the Central Nervous System.
Dermatologic problems or human factors that limitate the use of insole splint.
