Background Braking forces absorbed by the leading paretic limb are greater than expected with regard to gait speed and not correlated with propulsive forces generated by the non-paretic limb in individuals with severe hemiparesis. Altered foot placement due to poor sensorimotor capacities may explain excessive braking forces. Research question The main objective of this study was to determine whether paretic foot placement was related to paretic braking forces in post-stroke individuals with various self-selected walking speeds and motor deficits. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 34 chronic hemiparetic post-stroke individuals, divided into slow (
