The Presence of a Paretic Propulsion Reserve During Gait in Individuals Following Stroke.

Participants exhibited a robust propulsive reserve on the paretic limb, suggesting that there is untapped potential that can be exploited through rehabilitation to improve gait recovery. The increase in propulsive symmetry indicates that a greater response was observed by the paretic limb rather than increased compensation by the nonparetic limb.
