Gait propulsion in patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and ankle plantarflexor weakness

Gait propulsion in patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and ankle plantarflexor weakness

Highlights • Evaluation of associations between muscle involvement, kinetics and gait speed. • Calves are optimally recruited to increase gait speed in persons with FSHD. • Common compensatory gait strategies are restricted in persons with FSHD. • Trunk stability may be critical to recruit a success...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Evaluation of associations between muscle involvement, kinetics and gait speed. • Calves are optimally recruited to increase gait speed in persons with FSHD. • Common compensatory gait strategies are restricted in persons with FSHD. • Trunk stability may be critical to recruit a successful ‘pull-off’ strategy.
