PURPOSE: This study aimed to qualify the improvements of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (m- @entity6481 ) on the lower limb of @entity64 @entity1 via assessing the centre of mass (COM) displacement and the basic gait parameters. METHODS: A total of 22 @entity2795 @entity1 after @entity64 with first-time clinical cerebral infarction or @entity548 were included in this study from May to December, 2014. The @entity1 were randomly divided into m- @entity6481 group and the conventional therapy group (control group), and received corresponding training for five days/week for four weeks. The COM displacement and gait parameters were assessed by three-dimensional segmental kinematics method in pre-intervention and post- intervention therapy. RESULTS: After four weeks of m- @entity6481 , the COM displacement on sagittal plane of paretic leg during stance phase was increased (pre: 91.04        4.39   cm, post: 92.38        4.58   cm, p   <   0.05) and swing range of frontal plane was remarkably decreased (pre: 10.15        3.05   cm, post: 7.83        1.90   cm, p   <   0.001). Meantime, the normalised swing range of COM in m- @entity6481 was superior to that in control group. Moreover, the gait parameters, including velocity (0.27   m/s), step width (0.10   m), step length (0.22   m) and swing time percentage (29.80%), were significantly improved by post-interventions of m- @entity6481 (p   <   0.05). CONCLUSION: The m- @entity6481 intervention improves the COM displacement in sagittal and frontal plane, as well as gait parameters. These suggest that m- @entity6481 intervention may be feasible and effective for the rehabilitation of @entity2795 gait. Implications for Rehabilitation Segmental kinematics method was used to estimate the displacement of the COM. m- @entity6481 interventions improved the COM displacement of @entity1 after @entity64 . m- @entity6481 interventions improved the @entity2795 gait parameters.
