A more symmetrical gait after split-belt treadmill walking increases the effort in paretic plantar flexors in people post-stroke.
OBJECTIVE To determine if the level of effort in paretic plantar flexors during gait could be a factor in explaining locomotor asymmetry. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Twenty individuals with chronic stroke (mean age 49.4 years (standard deviation 13.2). METHODS Participants walked on a split-belt treadmill for 3 periods: baseline at self-selected speed; adaptation with the belt ...
متن کاملDecreased shoulder range of motion on paretic side after stroke.
The purposes of this investigation of patients with stroke were to 1) determine and compare shoulder lateral rotation range of motion (SLRROM) measured at the threshold of pain on the paretic and nonparetic sides; 2) establish the intrarater and interrater reliability of the measurements; and 3) determine the relationship between SLRROM measurements and the independent variables of age, sex, an...
متن کاملMotoneurons of Spastic-Paretic Stroke Survivors
30 Stroke survivors often exhibit abnormal motoneuron excitability, manifested clinically 31 as spasticity with exaggerated stretch reflexes in resting muscles. We examined whether this 32 abnormal excitability is a result of increased activation of intrinsic voltage-dependent 33 persistent inward currents (PICs), or whether it is due to enhanced synaptic inputs to the 34 motoneuron. This disti...
متن کاملDifferences in Rheobase and Chronaxie between the Paretic and Non-Paretic Sides of Hemiplegic Stroke Patients: a Pilot Study
[Purpose] Rheobase and chronaxie are used to confirm muscle degeneration. For stroke patients, however, the uses of rheobase and chronaxie in determining paretic side muscle degeneration is not yet fully understood. Thus, in this study, we examined the electrical properties of the quadriceps muscles of stroke patients' paretic side and compared them with their respective values on the non-paret...
متن کاملNeuromuscular strategies in the paretic leg during curved walking in individuals post-stroke.
Reduced flexibility over the neuromotor control of paretic leg muscles may impact the extent to which individuals post-stroke modulate their muscle activity patterns to walk along curved paths. The purpose of this study was to compare lower-limb movements and neuromuscular strategies in the paretic leg of individuals with stroke with age-matched controls during curved walking. Participants walk...
