Activity monitor placed at the non-paretic ankle is accurate in measuring step counts during community walking in post-stroke individuals : a validation study
Duclos, Noémie C.; Aguiar, Larissa Tavares; Faria, Christina Danielli Coelho de Morais; Nadeau, Sylvie; Duclos, Cyril (Wiley, 2019-01-28)Background: Different environmental factors may affect the accuracy of step-count activity monitors (AM). However, the validationconditions for AM accuracy largely differ from ecological environments.Objectives: To assess and compare the accuracy of ... -
Ideal timing to transfer from an acute care hospital to an interdisciplinary inpatient rehabilitation program following a stroke: an exploratory study
Gagnon, Dany; Nadeau, Sylvie; Tam, Vincent (2006)BACKGROUND:Timely accessibility to organized inpatient stroke rehabilitation services may become compromised since the demand for rehabilitation services following stroke is rapidly growing with no promise of additional resources. This often leads to ... -
Lower limb joint moments on the fast belt contribute to a reduction of step length asymmetry over ground after split-belt treadmill training in stroke : a pilot study
Betschart, Martina; McFayden, Bradford J.; Nadeau, Sylvie (Taylor and Francis, 2018-10-25)The main goal was to investigate changes in muscle activity and joint moments related to step length (SL) symmetry improvements in individuals poststroke following repeated split-belt treadmill (SBT) walking. Twelve individuals with a first unilateral ... -
More symmetrical gait after split-belt treadmill walking does not modify dynamic and postural balance in individuals post-stroke
Miéville, Carole; Lauzière, Séléna; Betschart, Martina; Nadeau, Sylvie; Duclos, Cyril (Elsevier, 2018-04-24)Spontaneous gait is often asymmetrical in individuals post-stroke, despite their ability to walk more symmetrically on demand. Given the sensorimotor deficits in the paretic limb, this asymmetrical gait may facilitate balance maintenance. We used a ... -
Reliability and minimal detectable change of the mini-BESTest in adults with spinal cord injury in a rehabilitation setting
Roy, Audrey; Higgins, Johanne; Nadeau, Sylvie (Taylor and Francis, 2019-06-03)Background: The mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (mini-BESTest) is a valid tool for assessing standing balance in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Its reliability has not yet been investigated with this population. Objective: To assess the ... -
Slow and faster post-stroke walkers have a different trunk progression and braking impulse during gait
Duclos, Noémie C.; Duclos, Cyril; Nadeau, Sylvie (Elsevier, 2018-12-26)Background Braking forces absorbed by the leading paretic limb are greater than expected with regard to gait speed and not correlated with propulsive forces generated by the non-paretic limb in individuals with severe hemiparesis. Altered foot placement ...
