Characterization of the Neuromuscular and Biomechanical Properties of Spastic Myopathy-affected Muscles During the Generation of Passive and Active Force: the Effect of a Management Program Based on Eccentric Exercises.

Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The goal of this study is to compare between Eccentric training and conventional therapy in sub-acute stroke survivors. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate improvements in gait speed after four months of ET in comparison to conventional therapy for patients with sub-acute stroke. Secondary objectives involve assessing: i) modifications in neuromuscular parameters of PF, ii) changes in muscle stiffness within PF during passive mobilization and active force generation, and iii) modifications in architectural parameters of PF.

Treatments
Active_comparator: CTG
In conventional therapy, the treatment plan is determined based on medical opinion. After admission, each patient undergoes several multidisciplinary assessments aimed at objectively determining the care based on their needs. In this group, patients received only conventional rehabilitation. This will carry out in the same manner as a regular practice of the clinic. 3 sessions per week
Experimental: ETG
In the absence of a standardized eccentric isokinetic training protocol established for hemiparetic subjects on the plantar flexor muscles, the protocol designed for this study drew inspiration from the one established by Clark and Patten. (2013) and by Harris-Love et al. (2017).This protocol allows the introduction of an eccentric stimulus for individuals who are new to this type of training and progressively advances their program to include workload levels sufficiently to stimulate muscle plasticity optimally, thereby inducing skeletal muscle adaptations. 3 sessions per week
