Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine if the level of effort in paretic plantar flexors during gait could be a factor in explaining locomotor asymmetry. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS: Twenty individuals with chronic stroke (mean age 49.4 years (standard deviation 13.2). METHODS: Participants walked on a split-belt treadmill for 3 periods: baseline at self-selected speed
