Effect of functional electrical stimulation plus body weight-supported treadmill training for gait rehabilitation in patients with poststroke-a retrospective case-matched study.

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that FES plus BWSTT could be more effective than BWSTT alone in the improvement of gait, balance, spasticity, and function of the lower limb in patients poststroke. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Introduce effective rehabilitation strategies for poststroke patients with abnormal gait. PMID: 31615194 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
