Objective: To investigate quantitatively biomechanic changes in the passive properties of hemiplegic spastic ankles.Design: Evaluation of spastic hypertonia by moving the ankle joint slowly between dorsiflexion and plantarflexion extreme positions under controlled joint torque and position.Setting: Institutional research center.Participants: Twenty-four stroke patients with spastic ankles and 32 healthy controls. Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: Passive resistance torque at controlled dorsiflexion and plantarflexion positions, dorsiflexion and plantarflexion range of motion (ROM) at controlled torques, and quasistatic stiffness and energy loss in dorsiflexion and plantarflexion.Results: Spastic hypertonic ankles showed significant alterations of the passive properties in plantarflexion (P=.041) as well as in dorsiflexion (P=.016) directions. Compared with healthy controls, spastic ankles showed higher resistance torque (9.51+/-4.79Nm vs 6.21+/-3.64Nm, P=.016), higher quasistatic stiffness (.54+/-.19Nm/deg vs .35+/-.20Nm/deg, P=.001) at 10degrees of dorsiflexion, larger normalized dorsiflexion energy loss (.068+/-.04J/deg vs .04+/-.02J/deg, P=.037), and decreased dorsiflexion ROM at 10Nm of resistance torque (10.77degrees+/-8.69degrees vs 20.02degrees+/-11.67degrees, P=.014). The resistance torque, ROM, and stiffness of spastic hypertonic ankles in plantarflexion showed similar changes (P
