Summary

Ankle dorsiflexor weakness (paresis) is one of the most frequently persisting consequences of stroke. The purpose of this exploratory study is to compare two different treatments -- Contralaterally Controlled Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (CCNMES) and Cyclic Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (cNMES) -- for improved recovery of ankle movement and better walking after stroke.

Conditions

  • Stroke
  • Hemiparesis
  • Lower Extremity Paresis

Interventions

DEVICE

Electrical stimulator

6-week intervention 15 minutes of therapist-guided stimulated ankle exercise + 30 minutes of physical therapy in the laboratory twice a week. Self-administered active repetitive ankle dorsiflexion exercise performed twice a day, 6 days a week at home using the device.
