Does spastic myopathy determine active movement and ambulation speed in chronic spastic paresis?—A cross-sectional study on plantar flexors
In chronic hemiparesis, active dorsiflexion is mostly determined by plantar flexor extensibility. Plantar flexor fascicle shortening is associated with reduced ambulation speed and ankle torques. Attempts to restore plantar flexor extensibility might be important objectives for gait rehabilitation in chronic hemiparesis.
