Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Walking through a narrow aperture requires unique postural configurations, i.e., body rotation in the yaw dimension. Stroke individuals may have difficulty performing the body rotations due to motor paralysis on one side of their body. The present study was therefore designed to investigate how successfully such individuals walk through apertures and how they perform body rotation behavior.

Key inclusion criteria

Participants in the stroke group were patients in a subacute hospital or had been discharged from a subacute hospital. Participants had residual hemiparesis. The inclusion criteria ensured that participants had been walking for at least one month after a first-time stroke and that they were able to walk independently for more than 100 m with or without an assistive device.

Key exclusion criteria

The exclusion criteria ensured that none of the participants (inclued non-impaired controls) had any indications of the following symptoms: (a) neurological, orthopedic, or other disorders that could affect walking, (b) history of visual deficits, (c) visual field deficits and visual spatial neglect, and (d) a score of less than 24 on the Mini Mental State Examination.

Results

Stroke fallers made frequent contacts on their paretic side; however, the contacts were not frequent when they penetrated apertures from their paretic side. Although the minimum passable width was greater for stroke fallers, the body rotation angle was comparable among groups. This suggests that frequent contact in stroke fallers was due to insufficient body rotation.

Baseline Characteristics

Twenty-three individuals with stroke (eleven females) participated. The mean age was 60.7 years (SD = 10.1). Twenty-three age-, gender-, and height-matched healthy individuals also participated as control articipants. Participants in the stroke group were patients in a subacute hospital or had been discharged from a subacute hospital. The mean time from the onset of stroke to testing was 15.2 months (ranging from 1 to 78 months).

Participant flow

The experiment consisted of three parts, which included (a) taking clinical measurements and some measurements of participants' characteristics, (b) performing the task of walking through an aperture, and (c) performing a perceptual judgment task regarding aperture passability. Clinical measurements and measurements of participants' characteristics wereconducted first; however, the measurement of the minimum passable width was conducted after performing the two tasks to avoid the possibility that the experience of measuring could affect their performance in these tasks. The order of performing the two tasks was counterbalanced.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

Kinematic characteristics at the moment of aperture crossing were described in terms of five measurements: the absolute body rotation angle, the number of steps necessary to cross anaperture (usually representing the steps necessary for body rotation), the body side to penetrate an aperture, the movement speed, and the absolute deviation of the upper-body midpoint from the center of the doorway.

The assessment was performed along a straight 6-m path. A door-like opening was located 4 m from the front of where the participants started walking. The opening was created as a space between two projector screens. The width of the opening could be adjusted by changing the location of the edge of each screen. The participants were instructed to walk through an opening without colliding with the screen. There were four different opening widths (cf. 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 times the width of the participants' shoulders). As a safety measure for the participants, two therapists stood beside the door apparatus while the participants performed the task. The participants were required to start walking and were permitted to rotate their bodies in any direction when necessary to avoid collisions. They performed 15 trials (three trials for each of the four aperture widths).
