- Mean (± SD) values of mean walking speed, cadence, stride length, stride speed, duration of initial double stance, single limb support, terminal double stance, and swing period, during stride cycle in the three conditions (no harness, 0% of BWS, and 30% of BWS) on nonparetic and paretic body sides of individuals with chronic stroke (n = 13). Note: same letter indicates difference between conditions; same number indicates difference between body sides.
