Effects of Isokinetic Strength Training of Knee Flexor and Extensor Muscles on Walking in Hemiparetic Patients With Knee Extension Thrust
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of an isokinetic strength training of knee flexor and extensor muscles on walking performance in hemiparetic patients with knee extension thrust.
Inclusion: Hemiparetic patient (hemorragic or ischemic stroke); Subacute stage (< 6 Months) ou chronic stage of stroke (> 6 months) (6 patients in each group); Age between 18 and 75 years; Able to walk 10 meters independently without any assistive devices; Knee extension thrust during stance phase of gait cycle (rapid posterior movement of the knee toward extension); Scheduled rehabilitation program with isokinetic strength training; affiliation to a social security; Patients who received and signed informed consent.
Exclusion: non stable (unstable cardiovascular condition); musculoskeletal disorders with knee pain that not allowed isokinetic strength training; Major comprehension deficit that not allow to give informed consent and participate to isokinetic strength training (assessed with comprehension subscore of Langague screening Test); Botulinum toxin injection less than 3 months or repeated injection in lower limb,; Proprioception trouble assessed with proprioception section of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment [FMA-P] 0/2; spasticity of triceps surae ≥2 (Modified Ashworth scale); ankle dorsiflexion angle less than 90°; pregnant women or breastfeeding; persons with safety measure.
