First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how tightness in the ankle muscles (spasticity) after a stroke affects a person's balance, risk of falling, and ability to move around. Researchers will study 68 people who had a stroke at least six months ago, comparing those with mild versus moderate-to-severe ankle stiffness. The goal is to better understand how muscle tightness impacts daily life and safety.
