Psychotherapy) CAREN exploratory study gait analysis ischemic stroke psychomotor function Background<p>Hemiplegic gait disturbance after ischemic stroke severely impairs patients’ mobility; however, existing tools still have limitations in both comprehensive evaluation and routine clinical application.</p>Methods<p>This study enrolled 15 patients with ischemic stroke and 15 healthy controls, and collected gait parameters using the CAREN system. Among these participants, 5 patients completed a 5-day continuous training regimen and participated in a longitudinal before-after comparison analysis.</p>Results<p>Baseline measures revealed pathological gait patterns. Post-intervention, step width, stride symmetry, and moment profiles showed short-term improvement trends.</p>Conclusion<p>The CAREN system can objectively quantify gait abnormalities in stroke patients and capture short-term change trends, providing a reproducible instrumental gait assessment framework. This study is exploratory in nature, its independent efficacy requires validation through large-sample randomized controlled trials.</p>Clinical Trial Registration<p>http://www.chictr.org.cn, identifier ChiCTR2600129541.</p> 2026-09-18T05:26:33Z Dataset Dataset 10.3389/fpsyt.2026.1939460.s001 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Supplementary_file_1_Instrumented_gait_characteristics_and_short-term_changes_after_CAREN_training_in_ischemic_stroke_a_pilot_study_docx/33920260 CC BY 4.0
