Abstract: Background: Lower limb spasticity after stroke is common that can affect the balance, increase the risk of falling, and reduces the quality of life.Objective: First, evaluate the effects of spasticity severity of ankle plantar flexors on balance of patients after stroke. Second, to determine the relationship between the spasticity severity with ankle proprioception, passive ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), and balance confidence.Methods: Twenty-eight patients with stroke based on the Modified Modified… Show more

“…Spasticity is mainly a neurogenic phenomenon that results in unopposed excitatory descending inputs to spinal stretch reflex circuits 3 . Lower limb muscle spasticity may alter postural stability and ambulation 4 . Common patterns that affect gait include spastic equinovarus foot and stiff knee.…”

“…3 Lower limb muscle spasticity may alter postural stability and ambulation. 4 Common patterns that affect gait include spastic equinovarus foot and stiff knee. Although there is a general consensus that plantar flexor spasticity contributes to equinovarus pattern, 5 the role of the rectus femoris (RF) and other knee extensor muscles as contributors to stiff knee gait (SKG) is not well defined.…”
