Association of Academic Physiatrists   /     Gait Velocity and Joint Power Generation After Stroke

Description

Drs. Eric Wisotzky and Laura Malmut interview Dr. Benjamin Mentiplay, a Lecturer in Sports and Exercise Science and a Research Fellow within the La Trobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. They discuss his recent study, Gait Velocity and Joint Power Generation After Stroke: Contribution of Strength and Balance, which was published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. The objective of this study was to assess the degree to which isometric strength of multiple lower limb muscle groups and balance is associated with gait velocity and joint power generation during gait after stroke. Dr. Mentiplay and fellow researchers found that ankle plantarflexor and hip flexor strength had the largest contribution to gait velocity.
