Drop 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 کاملبررسی تأثیر ارتزهای مچ پا-پایی بر متغیرهای راه‌رفتن و تعادل افراد سکته مغزی: مطالعه مروری
Objective Stroke occurs when the supply of blood to the brain is either interrupted or reduced. The clinical presentation varies from minor neurological symptoms to severe deficits, depending on the location and the size of the brain lesion. Hemiparesis is one of the most striking features in the acute phase. Many other deficits may also be present, including postural imbalance. All persistent ...
متن کاملRestoration of gait and motor recovery by functional electrical stimulation therapy in persons with stroke.
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of functional electrical stimulation (FES) therapy of the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle on gait restoration and enhancing motor recovery with stroke patients. METHOD Thirty hemiparetic participants with spastic foot-drop impairments who were at least 3 months post-stroke were recruited from a rehabilitation institute and were assigned either to a cont...
متن کاملEffect of Rocker Bar Ankle Foot Orthosis on Functional Mobility in Post-Stroke Hemiplegic Patients: Timed Up and Go and Gait Speed Assessments
Objectives: Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) are widely utilized to improve walking ability in hemiplegic patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Rocker bar Ankle Foot Orthosis (RAFO) on functional mobility in post-stroke hemiplegic patients. Methods: Fifteen hemiplegic patients (men and women) who were at least 6-months poststroke and able to walk without an assis...
متن کاملFunctional Electrical Stimulation Based on Interference- Driven PWM Signals for Neuro-Rehabilitation
Disorders of the nervous system can cause paraplegia, which prevents human mobility and decreases quality of life. A major therapeutic goal is to recover motor and sensory function in individuals who have sensory or motor impairments, due to an accident or illness, and to provide support for the performance of daily life activities. For this purpose, the authors developed a multi-functional sys...
