In order to verify the effects of the described gait training, individuals were assessed before and after gait training program, walking freely at self-selected comfortable speed along a 10 m walkway six times. They were videotaped by four digital cameras (AG-DVC7P, Panasonic) at 60 Hz, which were positioned bilaterally in order to allow simultaneous kinematics measurement of paretic and nonparetic limbs in either direction of motion (from left to right and vice-versa). During the evaluation, individuals were not allowed to use any assistive device, and they walked with the physical therapists' assistance to keep balance, when necessary.
