Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of temporal spatial and angular patterns of gait in humans after intervention assessed by kinematic analysis that seeks to acquire images from the execution of the movement, observing the behavior of dependent variables such as velocity, displacement, position and orientation body and its parts. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement in neurological status of human subjects with hemiparesis as well as their motor skills after the intervention, through the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). It is expected that individuals have lower values after training.;Improvement of motor function of subjects with hemiparesis after the gait training, evaluation by means of protocol Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM. It is expected that individuals have higher scores after the training. | — |
