| Abstract | After stroke, deficits in paretic single limb stance (SLS) are commonly observed and affect walking performance. During SLS, the hip abductor musculature is critical in providing vertical support and regulating balance. Although disrupted paretic hip abduction torque production has been identified in individuals post-stroke, interpretation of previous results is limited due to the discrepancies in weight-bearing conditions. Using a novel perturbation-based assessment that could induce SLS by removing the support surface underneath one limb, we aim to investigate whether deficits in hip abduction torque production, vertical body support, and balance regulation remain detectable during SLS when controlling for weight-bearing, and whether these measures are associated with gait performance. Our results showed that during the perturbation-induced SLS, individuals post-stroke had lower hip abduction torque, less vertical stiffness, and increased frontal plane angular impulse at the paretic limb compared to the non-paretic limb, while no differences were found between the paretic limb and healthy controls. In addition, vertical stiffness during perturbation-induced SLS was positively correlated with single support duration during gait at the paretic limb and predicted self-selected and fast walking speeds in individuals post-stroke. The findings indicate that reduced paretic hip abduction torque during SLS likely affects vertical support and balance control. Enhancing SLS hip abduction torque production could be an important rehabilitation target to improve walking function for individuals post-stroke. |
