Abstract: Objective To explore the characteristics of gait of old hemiplegic patients. Methods 22 old hemiplegic patients were investigated with Motion Analysis. Results The bilateral support phase increased, especially for the affected lateral. The swing phase decreased, as well as the frequency, step length, stride length and walking speed. Their heads flexed forward, but trunks remained upright. The motion of range of shoulder and elbow decreased in the affected lateral (P<0.05), and the angle of flexion and adduction in the affected shoulder and flexion in elbow increases (P<0.05). The motion of range of the affected hip, knee and ankle decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion The walking ability impaired in the old hemiplegic patients, with upper limbs spasticity, vision compensation, etc.
