Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability of gait performance tests in men and women with hemiparesis after stroke
Ulla-Britt Flansbjer,Anna Maria Holmbäck,David Downham,Carolynn Patten,Carolynn Patten,Jan Lexell,Jan Lexell +6 more
TL;DR: These commonly used gait performance tests are highly reliable and can be recommended to evaluate improvements in various aspects of gaitperformance in individuals with chronic mild to moderate hemiparesis after stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gait differences between individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis and non-disabled controls at matched speeds.
George Chen,George Chen,Carolynn Patten,Carolynn Patten,Dhara H. Kothari,Felix E. Zajac,Felix E. Zajac +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that consistent gait differences exist between hemiparetic and non-disabled subjects walking at matched speeds, and the differences provide insights, concerning hemiperetic impairment and related compensatory strategies, that are in addition to the observation of slow walking speed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor unit discharge behavior in older adults during maximal-effort contractions
TL;DR: It is suggested that reductions in maximal force capability in older adults are partially due to an impaired ability to fully drive the surviving motor units.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weakness and strength training in persons with poststroke hemiplegia: rationale, method, and efficacy.
TL;DR: This review examines the clinical and functional phenomena of weakness in poststroke hemiplegia, currently available evidence identifying physiologic substrates contributing to weakness, and reports of early investigations involving high-resistance training targeted at improving strength and the transfer of strength to improvements in functional capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pilot study of Lokomat versus manual-assisted treadmill training for locomotor recovery post-stroke
TL;DR: It is suggested that Lokomat training may have advantages over manual-BWSTT following a modest intervention dose in chronic hemiparetic persons and further, that the authors' training speeds produce similar gait improvements.
