Summary

This study looked at how the calf muscle and Achilles tendon work together during walking in people who have had a stroke or spinal cord injury, compared to healthy individuals. Researchers used ultrasound and motion analysis to measure muscle and tendon lengths in 64 adults. The goal was to better understand walking problems, not to test a treatment.
