Abstract

Interpretation: Non-invasive quantitative analysis, including estimation of optimal muscle lengths, enables to identify neural and non-neural changes in chronic stroke patients. Monitoring these changes in time is important to understand the recovery process and to optimize treatment. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
