Abstract

s / Gait & Posture 42S (2015) S1–S27 S15 Discussion: The common longer dual support time strategy in PwMS, which is independent of walking speed [3], results in an inappropriate activation of themuscle synergies that affects PwMS gait. In fact, despite anticipated M1 activation, PwMS showed a late dorsiflexion peak at contro-lateral heel strike that could be the consequence of reduced activation in force and time of the plantarflexor module (M1) in mid and terminal stance (Fig. 1) that likely compromises the proper control of tibial advancement. This may result in a non functional ankle position at the beginning of propulsive phase and consequently in a push-off deficit (Fig. 1). These results will allow a tailored rehabilitation and training in PwMS.
