Kinematic and kinetic benefits of implantable peroneal nerve stimulation in  people with post-stroke drop foot using an ankle-foot orthosis.

CONCLUSIONS: This study substantiates the evidence that implantable peroneal FES as a treatment for post-stroke drop foot may be superior over AFO in terms of knee stability, ankle plantarflexion power, and propulsion.
