FES-augmented treadmill training based on muscle synergies to improve locomotion in chronic stroke patients. A pilot randomized control trial

In this study, during treadmill training, patients underwent a multi-channel FES treatment that leverages inertial sensors and muscle synergies to optimize the treatment by stimulating the impaired synergies exactly when they should have been recruited [2]. The aim of the current pilot work was to evaluate the efficacy of this treatment in improving gait in patients with chronic stroke.
