Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a treatment for paralysis in central nervous system injuries that improves walking ability. This study evaluated the spatiotemporal impact of the H-GAIT neuroprosthesis in 5 subjects with chronic stroke, comparing unassisted and assisted gait recorded in VICON. Results showed a non-significant increase in step length, cadence, and gait speed with FES. The H-GAIT neuroprosthesis may positively affect gait, though limited use in a single session did not yield statistically significant changes.

摘要

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a treatment for paralysis in central nervous system injuries that improves walking ability. This study evaluated the spatiotemporal impact of the H-GAIT neuroprosthesis in 5 subjects with chronic stroke, comparing unassisted and assisted gait recorded in VICON. Results showed a non-significant increase in step length, cadence, and gait speed with FES. The H-GAIT neuroprosthesis may positively affect gait, though limited use in a single session did not yield statistically significant changes.
