Changes in the activation and function of the ankle plantar flexor muscles due to gait retraining in chronic stroke survivors

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>A common goal of persons post-stroke is to regain community ambulation. The plantar flexor muscles play an important role in propulsion generation and swing initiation as previous musculoskeletal simulations have shown. The purpose o...
