PARTICULARITIES OF GAIT REHABILITATION IN ADULT HEMIPLEGIC PATIENTS

Abstract

This study aims at underscoring the importance of gait rehabilitation process in adult hemiplegic patients and the necessity of individualizing the treatment by the type of stroke, by its location and gravity. The study was conducted on a sample of thirty-one patients diagnosed with hemiplegia, who benefitted from significant outcomes concerning gait rehabilitation, after a particularized application of rehabilitation programs. Long-term rehabilitation programs and the patient’s interest for regaining independence represent the motivational engine and the main pillar for attaining the proposed and expected outcomes. Thanks to these programs, the patients managed to walk on their own; as for locomotion under difficult circumstances, subjects have benefitted from increased degree of movement autonomy.
