No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanical properties of the Achilles tendon (stiffness, length, volume) and the force production capacities of the gastrocnemius medialis muscle in patients with spastic paresis (post-stroke or incomplete spinal cord injury) compared to healthy subjects, during gait.

Conditions

  • Spastic Paresis
  • Stroke
  • Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions

3D Gait Analysis

Evaluation includes maximal and sub-maximal isometric plantar flexion on a dynamometer with electrical stimulation, 3D quantified gait analysis synchronized with surface electromyography and ultrasound, and 3D ultrasound volume acquisition.
