Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to capture sensorimotor ankle function in a chronic stroke population through validation of novel experimental metrics and their comparison with established clinical measures of function For this purpose the researchers will evaluate various single-joint impairment-level measures such as visuomotor tracking performance and proprioception as well as functional-level measures including spatiotemporal gait eg gait speed and stride lengthtime and standardized clinical scales This study will be carried out in chronic stroke patients as well as age-matched healthy controls Results will help the researchers identify more quantitative metrics that can be used to monitor and rehabilitate sensorimotor function following stroke
Detailed Description: The purpose of this study is to capture sensorimotor ankle function in a chronic stroke population through validation of novel experimental metrics and their comparison with established clinical measures of function Target populations will perform various single-joint ankle tasks ie dorsiflexion and plantarflexion assessing the quality of their movements during visuomotor tracking goal-directed movements and unilateralbilateral tests of joint position and force sense Collecting these data will delineate which measures of ankle function are specific to chronic stroke as well as sensitivity to the severity of stroke assessed via the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for the Lower Extremity In addition the investigators will determine the relationship between deficits in proprioception and assessments which integrate multiple feedback modalities ie proprioception motor control and vision to assess the role of peripheral sensory feedback in performing ankle movements post-stroke The investigators will correlate measures of ankle impairment to clinical scales commonly used in physical therapy As a first step the investigators will directly compare these ankle measures to clinical tests of ankle sensation and motor control to demonstrate improvements in assessment sensitivity with this method Furthermore the investigators will correlate these ankle measures with clinical measures of lower-limb function during ambulatory and balance tasks to better understand the contribution of ankle impairments to dynamic multi-joint activities in chronic stroke
