Popis: Abstract Late braking force (LBF) is often observed in the late stance phase of the paretic lower limb of stroke patients. Nevertheless, the effects and association of LBF remain unclear. We examined the kinetic and kinematic parameters associated with LBF and its effect on walking. Herein, 157 stroke patients were enrolled. Participants walked at a comfortable speed selected by them, and their movements were measured using a 3D motion analysis system. The effect of LBF was analyzed as a linear relationship with spatiotemporal parameters. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed with LBF as the dependent variable and kinetic and kinematic parameters as independent variables. LBF was observed in 110 patients. LBF was associated with decreased knee joint flexion angles during the pre-swing and swing phases. In the multivariate analysis, trailing limb angle, cooperativity between the paretic shank and foot, and cooperativity between the paretic and non-paretic thighs were related to LBF (p
