Deficits in voluntary force generation may be due to incomplete activation or decreased maximum force generating ability (MFGA) of the targeted muscle. The validity of techniques used to measure MFGA in individuals post-stroke has not been assessed. The objective of this study is to determine the reliability of the MFGA predicted using an adjusted burst superimposition method within a post-stroke population. Differences in paretic-side plantar flexor muscle MFGA between two trials was calculated using the standard and adjusted burst superimposition technique for 17 individuals post-stroke (15 men, 58.7 ± 10 yrs, 6+ months post-stroke) to assess reliability of the techniques. The adjusted measurement was shown to be more reliable (p=0.03), especially when volitional effort differed by more than 40 N. Reliable measurement of the MFGA in individuals who have sustained a stroke is of clinical importance. These results suggest that the adjusted burst superimposition method may be useful when performing multiple measurements of muscle performance.
