Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this systematic review was to determine the number of muscle synergies and the distribution of muscle weightings in stroke patients during gait. Although literature has suggested that merging of synergies occurs after stroke and that a larger number of is associated with increased motor function if compared with healthy adults. IIt is still unknown if this hypothesis is also relevant when comparing different functional levels within a stroke population and what functional impact of altered synergies on walking behavior is.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Stroke

Individuals suffered from a haemorrhagic or ischaemic stroke. Diagnosis has to be confirmed on the basis of CT or MRI imaging.

No interventions assigned to this group

Healthy adults

Healthy individuals without any neurological or orthopaedic disorder that could influence motor performance and balance

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. haemorrhagic or ischaemic stroke diagnosis, confirmed on the basis of CT or MRI imaging;
2. no known history of previous stroke;
3. stroke onset within five months; 4 patients are between 18 and 85 years of age;

Exclusion Criteria

1. A score of 20 or higher on the Trunk Impairment Scale which indicates normal truncal function;
2. A score lower than two on the Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC) as patients needed to be able to ambulate without physical support to ensure that gait analysis can be executed safely;
3. Not able to sit independently for 30 seconds on a stable surface;
4. They suffer from other neurological and orthopaedic disorders that could influence motor performance and balance;
5. not able to understand instructions.
