a The body’s forward acceleration during walking results from the interaction between the propelling trailing limb and braking leading limb. By summing the antero-posterior ground reaction forces (AP-GRF) generated by each limb, b distinct body acceleration profiles can be identified across individuals with different motor control deficits. The low acceleration subtype generates little forward acceleration during the paretic double support phase, whereas the high acceleration subtype demonstrates positive acceleration during paretic double support and then remains largely negative across the gait cycle
