Ankle muscle activity characteristics of stroke patients with hemiplegia at gait initiation
This study showed that muscle activity in the paretic leg of stroke patients was delayed and that ankle muscle activity characteristics differed depending on the leading leg. These new results may provide a basis for training aimed at improving the latency of muscle activity in the paretic leg, as well as specific training for gait initiation by guiding the non-paretic leg, considering muscle activity patterns.
