When used without qualifiers, it usually refers to the limbs, but it can also be used to describe the muscles of the eyes (ophthalmoparesis), the stomach (gastroparesis), and also the vocal cords (vocal cord paresis). Neurologists use the term paresis to describe weakness, and plegia to describe paralysis in which all voluntary movement is lost.

2022年2月22日 · Here, in a longitudinal, prospective, observational study, we sought to elucidate the longitudinal changes in body-specific attention to the paretic limb and real-world arm use, and their relationship, by using accelerometers and psychophysical methods, respectively, in 25 patients with subacute stroke.

This study aimed to investigate differences in paretic limb loading and fluidity depending on whether the non-paretic limb or paretic limb was used as the leading limb. Methods: Thirty-eight individuals with stroke performed sit-to-walk with each leg as the leading limb, and their movements were measured using a 3D motion analysis system.

Over the last decade, the measure paretic propulsion (Pp, defined as the propulsive impulse generated by the paretic leg divided by the sum of the propulsive impulses of both legs) has been established as a measure of paretic limb output and recently targeted in …

2017年10月13日 · Here, we investigate the differences between the paretic and non-paretic leg in making recovery steps to restore balance following a disturbance during walking. We perturbed 10 chronic-stage stroke survivors during walking using mediolateral perturbations of …

2022年4月1日 · We compared sit-to-walk in terms of paretic limb loading and efficiency. Paretic limb loading at seat-off was larger with the paretic leading limb. Movement fluidity was low when the paretic leg was used as the leading limb.

Paretic upper-limb strength had the strongest relationship with variables of activity and best explained upper-limb performance in activities of daily living. Grip strength, tone, and sensation also were factors of upper-limb performance in activities of daily living.

2022年4月1日 · We compared sit-to-walk in terms of paretic limb loading and efficiency. Paretic limb loading at seat-off was larger with the paretic leading limb. Movement fluidity was low when the paretic leg was used as the leading limb.

2018年7月27日 · To examine whether reduced body-specific attention to a paretic limb is found in chronic stroke patients in a time-dependent manner. Twenty-one patients with chronic hemiparesis (10 left and 11 right hemiparesis) after subcortical stroke and 18 age-matched healthy controls were recruited in this study.

2016年9月6日 · Given these deficits, this study aimed to determine if the paretic limb could demonstrate sufficient reactive control to prevent slip-induced falls and also if the nonparetic limb could initiate and execute a successful compensatory stepping response when the paretic limb experienced a gait-slip.
