摘要：Whether errors between actual number of steps and step-counts by pedometers corresponded to walking speed, walking rate and Brunnstrom Recovery Stage(BRS) was studied on 20 stroke patients, who could walkby them self under supervision. As for normals, the error was approximately 8 steps in the adolescent group and approxi-mately 23.9 steps in the aged group. However, hemiplegic patients made the mean error of 84 steps (42%), which was nearly twice as much as that of normals. The error of CVA patients showed a negative correlation to time required for walking. The amount of errors tendedto be more, if the degree of motor disturbance of the lower extremity was below the level of BRS IV which means the patients use the caneand ankle foot orthosis, while the patients with IV degree for BRS, who can walk independently tended to make less errors in both sides than the normal controls in the same generation.
