Brief Summary:
This project aims to study the mechanical behavior of the muscle-tendon unit MTU of the gastrocnemius medialis GM and the Achilles tendon AT in post-stroke and spinal cord injured SCI patients compared to a healthy population focusing on the variations in muscle and tendon length during the stance phase of the gait cycle The primary objective is to assess the respective contributions of the GM and AT lengthening in the MTU during walking Inclusion criteria include adult post-stroke and post-SCI patients with voluntary motor function and some walking capacity Methods include ultrasound measurements and 3D gait analysis
Detailed Description:
Primary Objective Evaluate the respective contributions of the gastrocnemius medialis GM muscle and the Achilles tendon AT within the muscle-tendon unit MTU during the single support phase of walking in post-stroke patients compared to healthy subjects
Study Description Strokes often lead to spastic paresis degrading patients walking performance Instrumented gait analysis allows for the evaluation of these performances to propose adapted therapeutic strategies This project will compare muscle and tendon behavior during walking between healthy individuals and post-stroke patients
Methodology
Participants Adult post-stroke patients or incomplete SCI patients with voluntary motor function on the triceps surae and walking capacity Control group composed of healthy adults
Procedures
Measure the forcelength profile of the GM on an isokinetic dynamometer with simultaneous ultrasound
Conduct gait analysis coupled with ultrasound to measure the lengths of the AT and GM
Compare muscle and tendon length data during the stance phase of the gait cycle between the two groups
