Rectus femoris hyperreflexia contributes to Stiff-Knee gait after stroke

Abstract Background Stiff-Knee gait (SKG) after stroke is often accompanied by decreased knee flexion angle during the swing phase. The decreased knee flexion has been hypothesized to originate from excessive quadriceps activation. However, it is unclear whether hyperreflexia plays a role in this ac...
