Introduction: Stroke survivors often require walking aids to assist with ambulation. This exploratory study aimed to design and test a predictive model for prescribing walking aids in stroke subjects.
Methodology: Seventeen stroke subjects from a rehabilitation center in Rajkot, India was included. Factors including age, balance, dominant and affected side, comorbidities, motivation, fear of fall, economic status, spasticity, Brunnstrom grading, proprioception, visual limitation, ability to walk, ADL, and subject preference were measured using various scales and tests. SPSS version 23 was used for statistical analysis.
