How Does Ankle Mechanical Stiffness Change as a Function of Muscle Activation in Standing and During the Late Stance of Walking?

Varun Joshi et al.

Summary: This study examined the effects of varying levels of ankle muscle activation on ankle joint stiffness during standing and walking. The results demonstrated that plantarflexor activity positively correlated with ankle stiffness, while dorsiflexor activity negatively correlated with ankle stiffness during walking. Ankle muscle activation predicted a significant portion of ankle stiffness variation.

Summary: The study found that ankle stiffness in the sagittal plane could be well explained by a linear model, while in the frontal plane it showed weaker linear relationships and stronger nonlinear trends.

Characterization and clinical implications of ankle impedance during walking in chronic stroke

Amanda L. Shorter et al.

Summary: Individuals post-stroke experience persisting gait deficits due to altered joint mechanics, known clinically as spasticity, hypertonia, and paresis. In this study, ankle mechanical impedance was dynamically quantified during walking, revealing decreased stiffness in the paretic ankle during mid-stance, along with inter-limb differences in ankle joint damping strongly predicting walking speed and distance. These findings suggest a potential focus on correcting stance phase mechanics to improve mobility in chronic stroke survivors.
