Gait speed-dependent modulation of paretic versus non-paretic propulsion in persons with chronic stroke
PwCS showed reduced paretic leg contribution to forward propulsion across various gait speeds. The relative paretic contribution for propulsion peak remained constant while it increased with gait speed for propulsion impulse, especially in those with greater asymmetry at their comfortable walking speed. Furthermore, all participants were able to increase paretic propulsion peak and impulse above their propulsion at comfortable walking speed, suggesting some residual paretic capacity.
