Summary

This is an experimental, observational, prospective study designed to develop medical knowledge. The main objective of the study was to identify clinically significant, easily interpretable, quantitative indices of fatigue-related gait pattern changes in post-stroke hemiplegic patients. This study is part of a usual framework of management of post-stroke hemiplegic patients with additional data collection, via the use of inertial measurement units, considered here as non-interventional. To achieve this identification, 2 6-minute walk tests will be performed for each patient at the beginning and end of the same day. Patient-perceived fatigue will be recorded by the Borg scale every minute during the 6-minute test. The level of activity during the rehabilitation day is also part of the data collected (number of hours of physical and non-physical activity). At the end of the second 6-minute test, the patient's participation in the study ends. In addition to the inertial measurement, two scores will be collected to assess the correlation between fatigability and the level of anxiety/depression and stroke severity : * National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) * Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD)
