However, there has been little evaluation of the change in proprioceptive deficits in the lower limbs over time after stroke. This study aimed to examine proprioceptive deficits over time after stroke in both the affected and \u201cunaffected\u201d lower limbs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This cross\u2010sectional study included sixty first\u2010time unilateral stroke survivors and twenty age\u2010matched healthy individuals. Participants after stroke were divided into three subgroups based on different time points after stroke. The generally accepted clinical time points after stroke are the first 4\u00a0weeks\u2014the acute stage; 5\u201324\u00a0weeks\u2014the subacute stage; over 24\u00a0weeks\u2014the chronic stage. The active movement extent discrimination apparatus (AMEDA) was used to quantify ankle proprioception in plantarflexion and inversion directions, on both the affected and \u201cunaffected\u201d sides.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Lower limb proprioception scores decreased linearly over time after stroke on both the affected and \u201cunaffected\u201d sides (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). Overall, proprioception scores for the stroke groups were significantly lower than those for the healthy age\u2010matched group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01), with the only exception being ankle plantarflexion and inversion scores on the unaffected side in the acute stroke group, which were not significantly different from their healthy counterparts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Ankle proprioception in both lower limbs decreased over time after a unilateral stroke, with proprioceptive acuity on the \u201cunaffected\u201d side diminishing linearly in the same way as that on the affected side. These observed continuing deficits in lower limb proprioception among stroke survivors raise implications for clinical
