NCT ID NCT07467382
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how the Achilles tendon behaves during walking in people with spastic paresis, a condition causing muscle stiffness after stroke or spinal cord injury. Researchers will measure tendon stiffness, length, and volume using ultrasound and motion analysis. The goal is to better understand walking problems, not to test a new treatment.
