Reflex Excitability in Post-stroke Stiff-Knee Gait
Characterization of Abnormal Reflex Couplings Via H-reflex Stimulation
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to examine the reflex excitability of the rectus femoris in individuals with and without post-stroke Stiff-Knee gait. We use electrical stimulation of the peripheral nerve innervating the rectus femoris for a well-controlled reflex stimulus. We are investigating whether reflex excitability of the rectus femoris correlates with gait kinematics.
