ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Thalamic infarction (TI) can lead to gait disturbances (GDs), even in the absence of significant motor impairments. Understanding characteristics GDs TI patients is crucial for developing targeted rehabilitation strategies. Nonetheless, very little known about detailed changes patients. This study aimed investigate characterize these parameters Methods Ninety participants, including 45 subacute age‐sex‐matched healthy controls, were cross‐sectionally consecutively included from West China Hospital, Sichuan University. A set spatiotemporal analyses was performed with forty‐one as output, evaluated using “ReadyGo” three‐dimensional motion balance testing system. Additionally, we analyzed correlation between cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) controls (HC) a Fisher z‐test determine whether there difference.
