The stroke-related effects of hip flexion fatigue on over ground walking

Highlights • Ten individuals with chronic stroke and 10 without stroke (controls) participated. • Both groups had similar task durations and reductions in MVC force post-fatigue. • Individuals with stroke had larger percent reductions in walking speed. • Individuals with stroke had greater decrement...

More Information
Summary:Highlights • Ten individuals with chronic stroke and 10 without stroke (controls) participated. • Both groups had similar task durations and reductions in MVC force post-fatigue. • Individuals with stroke had larger percent reductions in walking speed. • Individuals with stroke had greater decrements in hip and ankle kinematics. • At a given level of fatigue, impact on walking function was more profound in stroke.
