Two typical examples of gait adaptations seen in stroke survivors. Both patients (A4 (left) and A1 (right)) show one or more compensatory strategies to overcome a reduced foot clearance due to stiff-knee gait (A and B). They show an increase in hip abduction (C and D), and an increased pelvic height during the paretic swing phase, compared to the non-paretic swing phase (E and F).
