| Abstract | BACKGROUND: A decline in walking capacity and high energy cost can limit mobility following stroke. Mechanical energy exchange between lower limb and trunk segments can reflect gait inefficiencies, but reveals little about active energy flow between adjacent segments through muscle actions. This study evaluated mechanical energy expenditures (MEEs) during walking in stroke and healthy groups to understand movement control and explore the impact of walking speed on mechanical energy exchanges. METHODS: Thirteen adults with hemiparesis and six healthy controls walked at self-selected speed. Power curves for each lower limb joint were segmented into concentric and eccentric sources of muscle power and transfer/no-transfer modes to calculate MEEs during stance. FINDINGS: MEEs were lower in the stroke group on the affected side compared to the less affected side and compared to controls. Specifically, the affected plantarflexors transferred less energy distally via concentric action in late stance compared to the less affected side. However, the stroke group generated greater energy at the ankle in the absence of transfer compared to controls. Less concentrically transferred energy through midstance and absorbed in late stance was evident by the knee extensors bilaterally in stroke. At the hip, the total energy (no transfer) was reduced on the affected side. Classifying stroke subjects by walking speed (<.6m/s, >.6m/s) revealed disruptions in harnessing energy through motion and transfer energy across segments in the slower group. INTERPRETATION: The limited ability of those with stroke to exploit intersegmental energy transfer to optimize efficiency may limit endurance and functional independence. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
