Between-day reliability of triceps surae responses to standing perturbations in people post-stroke and healthy controls: a high-density surface EMG investigation

Deficits in muscle activation are an important contributor to disability in mobility function in people after stroke [1]. For this reason, surface electromyography (EMG) is used by researchers to investigate changes in neuromuscular recruitment strategies associated with stroke in longitudinal studies [2–4]. Recent evidence suggests that surface electromyography could be useful in clinical settings to give an indication of motor recovery after stroke [5,6], as well as for biofeedback [7] as an intervention for lower limb [8] and upper limb [9] impairments post-stroke.
