Effects of Dual-Channel Functional Electrical Stimulation on Gait Performance in Patients with Hemiparesis
The study objective was to assess the effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES) applied to the peroneal nerve and thigh muscles on gait performance in subjects with hemiparesis. Participants were 45 subjects (age 57.8 ± 14.8 years) with hemiparesis (5.37 ± 5.43 years since diagnosis) demonstrating a foot-drop and impaired knee control. Thigh stimulation was applied either to the quadric...
متن کاملRehabilitation with Functional Electrical Stimulation in Stroke Patients
Upper extremity hemiplegia is the primary impairment underlying stroke-induced disability. Reducing chronic hemiplegic upper extremity impairment is generally difficult, and is the impairment most frequently treated by therapists [1]. Even 3 months after stroke only 20% of the stroke survivors, however, have normal upper extremity function [2]. Whereas motor practice improves motor skill learni...
متن کاملRelationship between functional electrical stimulation duty cycle and fatigue in wrist extensor muscles of patients with hemiparesis.
The purpose of this study was to investigate, in a sample of patients with hemiparesis secondary to cerebrovascular accident, the relationship between the ratio of stimulus on time to off time and muscle fatigue using a commercial electrical stimulation unit. An experimental model was used to test the hypothesis that the smaller the stimulus off time relative to stimulus on time, the greater wi...
متن کاملEffects of eye movement with functional electrical stimulation on balance in stroke patients with neglect syndrome
[Purpose] The aim of the present study was to determine whether eye movement in conjunction with functional electrical stimulation (FES) could improve balance ability in stroke patients with neglect syndrome. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects consisted of 15 stroke patients with neglect syndrome. The intervention was eye movement in conjunction with FES. The program was conducted 5 times per ...
