Read this paragraph and say which of the statements are mentioned / not mentioned.
Gait disturbance is the most common problem after stroke. This problem is related to poor ADL and mobility, and increases the risk of fall in severe cases. The body alignment of stroke patients becomes asymmetric if they have a hemi-paralysis, muscle weakness, motor and sensory function decrease. These problems produce a hemiplegic gait in stroke patients. It may include poor equilibrium reaction, and impaired selective motor control. Good body alignment is very important clinically because asymmetry leads to inefficient energy during walking, the risk of musculoskeletal injury in the unaffected side, and loss of bone density. Excessive pelvic elevation and the pelvic tilt angle is directly connected to hemiplegic gait and poor motor function in stroke patients causes an excessive pelvic tilt during gait.
