Summary

This study looked at how the tibialis anterior muscle (the muscle in the front of the shin) changes after a stroke. Using ultrasound, researchers measured muscle thickness, fiber angle, and length in 36 people who had a stroke. They compared the affected leg to the unaffected leg to understand how these changes relate to recovery and walking ability.
