BackgroundHigher gait variability after stroke increases risk of falls and compromises safe community ambulation. Corticomotor connectivity plays an important role in walking after stroke, however, its relation to gait variability remains unknown.Research questionDo corticomotor characteristics of the proximal and distal lower limb muscles predict gait variability in individuals with chronic stroke?MethodsRetrospective analysis of data from 30 individuals with chronic stroke was conducted. Corticomotor characteristics were measured in the paretic and non-paretic tibialis anterior (TA, distal muscle) and rectus femoris (RF, proximal muscle) using transcranial magnetic stimulation. We calculated corticomotor excitability ratio of paretic TA and RF (CMETA/RF), corticomotor excitability symmetry (CMEsym) between hemispheres for the TA and RF, and ipsilateral corticomotor excitability (ICE) of the paretic TA. Gait variability was quantified as the coefficient of variation of the paretic step length (spatial) and step time (temporal) during comfortable walking. Relations between corticomotor characteristics and gait variability were tested with multiple linear regression.ResultsCMETA/RFand CMEsymof RF were significant predictors of spatial gait variability. Greater corticomotor input to the paretic RF compared to the paretic TA and greater symmetry of RF were related to higher spatial gait variability. There were no significant predictors of temporal gait variability.SignificanceCorticomotor inputs to the proximal RF may be important for spatial gait variability, reflecting a compensatory role of RF in walking after stroke. Stroke survivors with relatively greater corticomotor input to the paretic RF may adopt compensatory strategy to enhance propulsion and achieve foot clearance, but it may also increase spatial gait variability, particularly when combined with impaired motor control of the paretic TA. These findings may provide novel rehabilitative targets to decrease gait variability and promote safe ambulation in individuals with stroke.
