Motoneurons of Spastic-Paretic Stroke Survivors
30 Stroke survivors often exhibit abnormal motoneuron excitability, manifested clinically 31 as spasticity with exaggerated stretch reflexes in resting muscles. We examined whether this 32 abnormal excitability is a result of increased activation of intrinsic voltage-dependent 33 persistent inward currents (PICs), or whether it is due to enhanced synaptic inputs to the 34 motoneuron. This disti...
متن کاملComparison of forward walking and backward walking in stroke hemiplegia patients focusing on the paretic side
[Purpose] To investigate the features of backward walking in stroke patients with hemiplegia by focusing on the joint movements and moments of the paretic side, walking speed, stride length, and cadence. [Subjects and Methods] Nine stroke patients performed forward walking and backward walking along a 5-m walkway. Walking speed and stride length were self-selected. Movements were measured using...
متن کاملDifferences in Rheobase and Chronaxie between the Paretic and Non-Paretic Sides of Hemiplegic Stroke Patients: a Pilot Study
[Purpose] Rheobase and chronaxie are used to confirm muscle degeneration. For stroke patients, however, the uses of rheobase and chronaxie in determining paretic side muscle degeneration is not yet fully understood. Thus, in this study, we examined the electrical properties of the quadriceps muscles of stroke patients' paretic side and compared them with their respective values on the non-paret...
متن کاملH-reflex modulation during walking in spastic paretic subjects.
Hoffman (H) reflexes were elicited from the soleus muscle during treadmill walking in 21 spastic paretic patients. The soleus and tibialis anterior muscles were reciprocally activated during walking in most patients, much like that observed in healthy individuals. The pattern of H-reflex modulation varied considerably between patients, from being relatively normal in some patients to a complete...
متن کاملNeuromuscular strategies in the paretic leg during curved walking in individuals post-stroke.
Reduced flexibility over the neuromotor control of paretic leg muscles may impact the extent to which individuals post-stroke modulate their muscle activity patterns to walk along curved paths. The purpose of this study was to compare lower-limb movements and neuromuscular strategies in the paretic leg of individuals with stroke with age-matched controls during curved walking. Participants walk...
