Functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the lower limbs improves walking ability in stroke patients with hemiplegia during the early stages of independent walking
Key Points
Improved walking ability observed in stroke patients following lower limb stimulation with functional electrical stimulation.
Study reported significant improvements, with patients showing increased independence during early walking stages.
Assessment of walking ability conducted through functional electrical stimulation techniques in the context of stroke rehabilitation.
Highlights the need for further exploration of interventions like functional electrical stimulation in stroke recovery.
