Résumé : |
Objective To measure the strength of the major muscle groups of the affected and intact lower limbs in people with stroke compared with age-matched controls. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting University laboratory. Participants Ambulatory stroke survivors (n=60; mean age, 69+11y), who had had a stroke between 1 and 6 years previously, and age-matched controls (n=35; mean age, 65+9y) (N=95). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures The maximum isometric strength of 12 muscle groups (hip flexors and extensors, hip adductors and abductors, hip internal rotators and external rotators, knee flexors and extensors, ankle dorsiflexors and plantarflexors, ankle invertors and evertors) of both lower limbs was measured using handheld dynamometry. All strength measurements were taken in standardized positions by 1 rater. Results The affected lower limb of the participants with stroke was significantly weaker than that of the control participants for all muscle groups (P<.01 strength for age sex and body weight was of that the control participants. most severely affected muscle groups were hip extensors controls ankle dorsiflexors adductors least invertors plantarflexors flexors intact lower limb participants with stroke significantly weaker than all except knee> Conclusions Ambulatory people with chronic stroke have a marked loss of strength in most of the major muscle groups of both lower limbs compared with age-matched controls. |
