This study was to describe the motivation for rehabilitation, gait function(velocity, cadence, affected side step-length, stride-length and single-limb support) and quality of life in stroke patients. The 70 subjects were assessed on quality of life was measure Stroke-Specific Quality of Life(SS-QOL), motivation for rehabilitation and gait function(by GAITRite). The multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluation the impact of quality of life on motivation for rehabilitation, gait velocity, cadence, affected side step-length, stride-length and single-limb support. As a result, the motivation for rehabilitation showed the strangest variance in work(p<.001), total SS-QOL(p<.05) and upper extremity function(p<.05). the affected side step-length of gait function showed the strongest variance in social role (p<.001), total SS-QOL(p<.01) and family(p<.05) while the affected side stride-length of gait function showed the strongest variance in mobility(p<.01). The gait velocity and affected side single-limb support of gait function showed the strongest variance in self care(p<.05). Finally, the cadence of gait function showed the strongest variance in upper extremity function(p<.001), work(p<.05). Therefore, we should come up with exercise programs to provide patients after stroke so that they can increase their quality of life.
