Brief Summary

After stroke, a lot of patients present an hemiparesis and gait disorders. They need walking aids like quadripod cane or rolling cane. The quadripod cane confers a great stability but implies a walk in 3 times, thus consume more energy. The pause time necessary for the displacement (uplift) of the cane disappear with the Wheeleo. The investigators will study many spatio-temporal parameters to determine which one allows to decrease the walking speed.

Conditions

Stroke; Hemiplegic Gait
