Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the gait of patients with hemiplegia, with or without the use of insole splint. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the insole splint improve the gait of these patients? Does any difference exist in the use of muscles?

Participants will have to walk in the gait analysis' aisle with and without the insole splint, using wireless EMG device.
