Study Summary

This trial will test if HHD can more accurately measure leg muscle strength in stroke patients to better inform therapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had a stroke at least 3 months ago and can follow simple commands. They must be able to hold certain positions like sitting or lying down during tests. People with severe limb stiffness, unstable vital signs, symptoms like shortness of breath or dizziness, active infections at the test site, or other serious health issues affecting physical activity cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if hand-held dynamometry (HHD), a tool for measuring muscle strength in the legs, can provide accurate data for therapists treating patients with chronic stroke. It will measure normal values of leg muscle force in different ways to see how well it works.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct side effects mentioned from using HHD as it's a non-invasive measurement tool. However, participants may experience general fatigue or discomfort from maintaining test positions.
