Aerobic exercise may be a catalyst to promote neuroplasticity and recovery following stroke;
however, the optimal methods to measure neuroplasticity and the effects of training …

Background Although it is well established that lower limb joint angles adapt to walking at
various speeds, limited research has examined the modifications in joint angular velocity …

Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to identify literature examining associations
between isometric strength and gait velocity following stroke. Methods: An electronic search …

This clinical commentary discusses the mechanisms used by the lower-limb musculature to
achieve faster running speeds. A variety of methodological approaches have been taken to …

Background Rising from a chair is an important functional measure after stroke. Originally
developed as a measure of lower-limb strength, the five times sit-to-stand test has shown …

Background Task-specific loading of the limbs—termed as functional resistance training—is
commonly used in gait rehabilitation; however, the biomechanical and neuromuscular …

Purpose: Quadriceps weakness is common after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
reconstruction, resulting in prolonged disability and increased risk for re-injury and …

Background The relative importance of lower extremity and trunk muscle function to gait in
people with multiple sclerosis (MS) is unknown. Objective This study aimed to investigate …

Questions In people recovering from traumatic brain injury, is a 3-month ballistic resistance
training program targeting three lower limb muscle groups more effective than non-ballistic …

Background: There are mixed reports on the effectiveness of strength training to improve gait
performance in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), yet the reasons for these inconsistent …
