Structural and passive mechanical properties of the medial gastrocnemius muscle in ambulatory individuals with chronic stroke

Although muscle mechanical properties increased exponentially over the slack ankle, measures between paretic and non-paretic sides were similar in ambulating participants with chronic stroke. Side-to-side differences in structural and morphological measures suggest the impact of stroke was relatively more pronounced for these muscle parameters than for passive mechanical properties.
