A Propulsion Neuroprosthesis Improves Overground Walking in Community-Dwelling Individuals After Stroke

A Propulsion Neuroprosthesis Improves Overground Walking in Community-Dwelling Individuals After Stroke 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

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 …
