抄録

In physical therapy for patients with central nervous system disorders, the goal is often the acquisition of walking movement. Physical therapy is required to always consider the risk of falls in hospitalized life and to judge the degree of independence for each individual. The authors believe that it is necessary not only to rely solely on the determination of gait independence, but also to supplement it by observing movement, which is a necessary clinical ability required of a physical therapist. In this paper, we focus on the movement of initiating gait and present approaches for improving lower limb dysfunction while deepening the understanding of normal movement.
