Abstract: Deals with a study which evaluated a method to quantify the passive stiffness of the ankle by comparing stiffness measurements of normal healthy subjects with those obtained for spastic hemiplegic patients during dorsiflexions imposed at different velocities. Materials and methods used in the study; Results and discussion.
