Analysis of the Correlation Between Ultrasound Imaging and Functional Parameters in the Medial Gastrocnemius Muscle in Post-stroke Patients With Spasticity in the Lower Limb

NCT06411587 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 52

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to understand the impact of spasticity on muscle changes and functional performance in stroke patients with lower limb spasticity in comparison to non-stroke individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* How does spasticity affect muscle changes and lower limb functional performance in stroke patients?
* How do structural and textural parameters in ultrasound images differ between spastic stroke patients and non-stroke individuals?

Participants will undergo ultrasound evaluation of their leg muscles to measure structural and textural parameters. They will also take part in functional assessments to assess their performance in activities related to lower limb mobility.

Researchers will compare the structural and textural ultrasound parameters between stroke patients and non-stroke individuals to determine any notable differences. The study aims to identify the relationship between muscle changes, spasticity, and functional performance in stroke patients.
