Abstract:
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a common neuromotor intervention whereby electrically evoked dorsiflexor muscle contractions assist foot clearance during walking. Plantarflexor neurostimulation has recently emerged to assist and retrain gait propulsion; however, safe and effective coordination of dorsiflexor and plantarflexor neurostimulation during overground walking has been elusive, restricting propulsion FES …
