Differences in muscle quality, muscle strength, and functional motor performance between people after stroke and age- and sex-matched apparently healthy adults: a cross-sectional study
Distinct regional patterns of muscle quality loss were observed in people after stroke, with lower MT and higher EI values correlating with reduced strength. These findings highlight the importance of assessing both structural and functional parameters across limb regions to better understand muscle deterioration and guide targeted interventions in ageing and post-stroke populations.
