Summary
This study looks at how nerve reflexes in the thigh muscle affect walking in people who have had a stroke and have a stiff-knee gait. Researchers will use mild electrical stimulation to measure reflex activity while participants walk. The goal is to better understand why some stroke survivors have trouble bending their knee during walking.
