Gluteus Maximus Muscle Activation Characteristics During a Chair-Rise in Adults With Chronic Stroke

CONCLUSIONS: Despite apparent unilateral muscle weakness post-stroke, bilateral decreases in gluteus maximus activation magnitudes and compounding onset deficits of the paretic extremity were observed during chair-rising. Further research is needed to determine whether interventions maximizing bilateral activation magnitudes and improving temporal activation congruency during chair-rising will carry over to functional gainsVideo Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A387).PMID:35561104 | DOI:10.1097/NPT.0000000000000404
