Effect of Unilateral Shoulder Disorder on the Stance Phase of Human Gait

Table 1

Gait parameters of shoulder group compared to control group.

Shoulder group (n = 20)	Affected side (duration of gait cycle in percent)	Unaffected side (duration of gait cycle in percent)	Mean value and SD of side differences (affected-unaffected side)
