Feasibility study of a take-home array-based functional electrical stimulation system with automated setup for current functional electrical stimulation users with foot-drop.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of unsupervised community use of an array-based automated setup functional electrical stimulator for current foot-drop functional electrical stimulation (FES) users. DESIGN Feasibility study. SETTING Gait laboratory and community use. PARTICIPANTS Participants (N=7) with diagnosis of unilateral foot-drop of central neurologic origin (>6mo) who were...
متن کاملDrop foot treatment: Functional electrical stimulation
Background: The gait pattern after stroke can be disturbed by foot drop. The conventional approach to the treatment of drop foot gait is a splint, the ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). An active approach is functional electrical stimulation (FES). Functional electrical stimulation (FES) refers to electrical stimulation of muscles in order to improve the impaired motor function. This is achieved by act...
متن کاملFeasibility of Using Lokomat Combined with Functional Electrical Stimulation for the Rehabilitation of Foot Drop
This study investigated the clinical feasibility of combining the electromechanical gait trainer Lokomat with functional electrical therapy (LokoFET), stimulating the common peroneal nerve during the swing phase of the gait cycle to correct foot drop as an integrated part of gait therapy. Five patients with different acquired brain injuries trained with LokoFET 2-3 times a week for 3-4 weeks. P...
متن کاملDoes functional electrical stimulation for foot drop strengthen corticospinal connections?
BACKGROUND Long-term use of a foot-drop stimulator applying functional electrical stimulation (FES) to the common peroneal nerve improves walking performance even when the stimulator is off. This "therapeutic" effect might result from neuroplastic changes. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of long-term use of a foot-drop stimulator on residual corticospinal connections in people with central ...
متن کاملFunctional electrical stimulation versus ankle foot orthoses for foot-drop: A meta-analysis of orthotic effects.
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects on walking of functional electrical stimulation (FES) and ankle foot orthoses for foot-drop of central neurological origin, assessed in terms of unassisted walking behaviours compared with assisted walking following a period of use (combined-orthotic effects). DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, AMED, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, REHABDATA...
