Objective: We investigated the characteristics of hip, knee, and ankle joint reaction forces (JRFs) in stroke patients with spastic hemiplegia during sit-to-stand (Si-St) and stand-to-sit (St-Si) movements and explored the relationship between JRFs and joint moments.
Methods: Thirteen stroke patients with spastic hemiplegia and thirteen age-matched healthy subjects were recruited in this study. Three-dimensional motion capture system and force plates were employed to collect kinematic data and ground reaction forces during Si-St and St-Si tasks.

Background: Mild Behavioral Impairment (MBI) is the onset of sustained neuropsychiatric symptoms that are considered as a possible precursor to neurodegenerative conditions, especially dementia. The concept of MBI recognizes that behavioral changes may be an early sign of brain changes due to neurodegeneration. Very recent research has shown behavioral changes in MBI might be linked to changes in brain structure, including cortical thickness.

Objectives: The plantar fascia stretching intervention can correct balance ability and induces a change spatiotemporal parameter doing gait ability. Our objective is to compare the effects of a 4-week program of plantar fascia stretching with those of calf stretching exercise on ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion (DF-PROM), open and closed eyes static balance ability, gait parameters, and foot and ankle disability index in chronic post-stroke condition.
Methods: Participants were randomized to either the plantar fascia stretching ( = 10) or calf stretching ( = 10) group.
