effect arm sling on temporal parameters of gait in stroke patients. Methods: in a randomized, cross-over study design twenty three stroke patients diagnosed as cerebrovascular accident participated in the study. The patients were able to walk independently and were in stage three or less according to Brunnstrom stages of recovery for the upper extremity. Three-dimensional gait data were collected with the QUALISYS ProReflex motion analysis system. Temporal parameters as: walking velocity, cycle time, cadence, double-support time and percentage of stance phase as well as excursion of the center of gravity in the sagittal, coronal, and transverse planes and finally the excursion of the hip, knee, and ankle in the sagittal plane were measured. Patients walked on a walkway bare footed twice on the same day, randomly with and without arm sling, at a self-selected speed. Results: when walking with sling, patients showed an increase in the velocity; the percentage of stance phase of the affected side and a decrease in the double support time which were statistically significant. In addition, excursion of the center of gravity decreased in all planes. Conclusions: during gait training sessions it is recommended that patients with stroke wore arm sling to improve gait pattern.
