Falls in individuals with stroke. (2008, background): “These mechanisms can only partly compensate for the loss of push-off, mainly because hip muscle strength is reduced as well [104–105].”
Ankle dorsiflexion as an fMRI paradigm to assay motor control for walking during rehabilitation (2004, background): “After a moderately severe hemiparetic stroke, gait velocity is especially slowed by paresis of the affected hip and knee extensors, but asymmetries between the affected and unaffected leg relate best to poor ankle dorsiflexion and hypertonicity of the ankle plantarflexors (Hsu et al., 2003).”
