摘要: Physiological Cost Index (PCI) has been proposed to assess gait demand. The purpose of the study was establish whether PCI is a valid indicator in subacute stroke patients energy cost walking different conditions, that is, over ground and on Gait Trainer (GT) with body weight support (BWS). tested if correlations exist between ECW, indicating validity measure and, by implication, PCI. Six (patient group (PG)) 6 healthy age- size-matched subjects as control (CG) performed, random sequence days, tests overground GT 0, 30, 50% BWS. There good excellent correlation ECW observed conditions: PG Pearson 0.919 (); CG 0.852 (). In conclusion, high significant all suggest outcome patients.
