Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyse the changes occurring in the kinematic gait pattern of a 57-year-old man with stroke in response to a concurrent cognitive task. The patient had independent walking ability. He walked under 2 conditions: without a cognitive task and with a cognitive task, based on the resolution of mathematical operations. Motion capture was performed using the VICON Motion System®. The motion of the pelvis, hip, knee and ankle were analysed in the affected side in both conditions. The study revealed the influence of the cognitive task on the kinematic gait pattern, modifying the hip, knee and ankle pattern during the stance and the swing period.
