Effect of FES Interventions on Gait Dynamics in Stroke Population
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stroke, Foot Drop
In brief
Our proposal quantitatively analyzes gait dynamics of hemiplegic individuals in response to the Function Electrical Stimulation (FES) intervention and identifies the responders to the intervention. This study will improve our knowledge of FES intervention and help clinicians strategize the FES interventions more effectively based on the responders' gait characteristics, thus supporting the NINDS' fundamental goal of translating basic and clinical discoveries into better ways to prevent and treat neurological disorders.
