The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lift to the shoe of the affected limb on gait patterns in subjects with hemiplegia. The subjects of this study were 18 post-stroke hemiplegics. For the study, insole of the paretic side was lifted 10 mm higher, and duration of dynamic weight bearing was measured. before and after the lift application. For the measurement of carry-over effect of lift, we got data of there three items prior to and 3 weeks after lift application and 3 days after removal of the lift. Dynamic weight bearing was significantly decreased in heel contact and footflat phases only when just after application of the lift, without any change after 3 weeks application. In heel-off phase, dynamic weight bearing did not show any significant difference between before and just after application of lift whereas significantly decreased after 3 weeks application. According to this study, lift applied to the shoe of the paretic limb was not significantly effect in inducing dynamic weight bearing, but changed a dynamic weight bearing.
