*2.2. Assessment of the Hemiplegia*

Motor function was evaluated using the Demeurisse motricity index [22]. Spasticity was evaluated using the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) [23]. Walking autonomy was assessed using the functional ambulation classification modified (FACm) [24]. Autonomy related to activities of daily living was evaluated using the Barthel index [25]. All these evaluations were performed by the same examiner for all participating subjects.
