Bilateral changes in muscle architecture of physically active people with chronic stroke: a quantitative muscle ultrasound study
Stroke is primarily regarded as a central nervous system (CNS) disorder, but post-stroke structural changes in skeletal muscles have been described. Imaging techniques such as Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) and Computed Tomography (CT) have revealed atrophy in several paretic side muscles of stroke survivors (English et al., 2010; Scherbakov et al., 2015). In addition to atrophy, increased intramuscular fat has been found in hemiparetic muscles of post-stroke patients (Ryan et al., 2002, Klein et al., 2010, Ryan et al., 2011).
