Study Summary
The purpose of this research is to find the optimal patterns of functional electrical stimulation (FES) of muscles in the lower legs that will improve walking ability in those who have had a stroke and at the same time ensure walking stability. FES involves applying small electric currents to the nerves, which cause the muscles to contract. FES research projects vary from simple investigations of the therapeutic effects of exercise on muscle function and skin health, to more complex studies of functional movements such as standing or walking.
Primary Outcome
This was a feasibility study of computational models and gait simulations to objectively determine patient-specific patterns of muscle activation. We developed computer models and walking simulations of hemiplegic gait from 8 subjects. We related the model results (muscle activations) to the optimized data collected from hemiplegic subjects \& calculated the FES pattern to be delivered in 2 forms (open loop \& foot switch triggered). The primary outcome measure turned out to be the feasibility o
