[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation of gait parameters with fear of falling in stroke survivors. [Subjects] In total, 12 patients with stroke participated. [Methods] The subjects performed on a Biodex Gait Trainer 2 for 5 min to evaluate characteristic gait parameters. The kinematic gait parameters measured were gait speed, step cycle, step length, and time on each foot (step symmetry). All the subjects also completed a fall anxiety survey. [Results] Correlations between gait parameters and fear of falling scores were calculated. There was a moderate degree of correlation between fear of falling scores and the step cycle item of gait parameters. [Conclusions] According to our results, the step cycle gait parameter may be related to increased fall anxiety.
[目的] 本研究旨在评估中风幸存者的步态参数与跌倒恐惧之间的相关性。[对象] 共有12例中风患者参与。[方法] 受试者在Biodex步态训练器2上进行5分钟测试，以评估特征性步态参数。测量的运动步态参数包括步速、步周期、步长和单脚支撑时间（步对称性）。所有受试者还完成了一项跌倒焦虑调查。[结果] 计算步态参数与跌倒恐惧评分之间的相关性。跌倒恐惧评分与步态参数中的步周期项目之间存在中度相关性。[结论] 根据我们的结果，步周期步态参数可能与跌倒焦虑增加有关。
