  • Title: The relationship between walking speed and muscle strength for knee extension in hemiparetic stroke patients: a follow-up study.
    Author: Nakamura R, Watanabe S, Handa T, Morohashi I.
    Journal: Tohoku J Exp Med; 1988 Feb; 154(2):111-3. PubMed ID: 3381220.
    Abstract:
    Walking speed and isokinetic strength of knee extension were examined in 18 hemiparetic stroke patients prior to, and 4 and 8 weeks after gait training. Although increase of the walking speed did not coincide with that of the isokinetic strength of the affected and non-affected sides, regression analyses revealed that the strength of the affected side was the primary determinant of the walking speed and the variance explained by it gradually increased with a period of the training.
