FNS and Weight Support Treadmill Training for Gait Component Restoration

NCT00011596 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 36

Last updated 2009-01-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To date, conventional rehabilitation is not able to restore normal, safe, gait for many individuals with stroke. We have identified nine gait component deficits which respond to the FNS-IM intervention. This study will test a refined treatment protocol of 3 months duration to restore volitional gait by restoring those nine gait components simultaneously. In addition, we will incorporate into the treatment protocol a promising non-invasive technique of partial body weight-supported (BWS) gait training on a treadmill. BWS and FNS-IM have the potential to provide additive effects for the patient and restore volitional gait more quickly and more completely than would otherwise be possible with one technique alone.
