Combining Foot Drop Stimulation Devices with Gait Training Improves Gait, Active Ankle Movement of Chronic Poststroke Individuals
Conclusions
Our results demonstrated a positive training effect on ankle active movement during gait. FDS combined with gait training is able to increase the total distance walked after 2 weeks of treatment.
Clinical Relevance
FDS ameliorated the active dorsiflexion and increased the distance covered in people with chronic poststroke. Our results suggest a positive training effect of FDS that can guide physiotherapists in their clinical practice.
