First seen Mar 10, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study looked at how the calf muscle and Achilles tendon stretch and move during walking in 64 people who had a stroke or spinal cord injury, compared to healthy individuals. Researchers used ultrasound and 3D motion capture to measure these changes. The goal was to better understand walking problems, not to test a treatment.
