RATIONALE:

The previous study resulted that the gait training using Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) improved the ankle joint function and the walking ability for the chronic stroke patients with foot drop.

In addition, the further exploratory study in multicenter obtained the result that the training with WA were especially good adaptation to the patients who have slight paralysis and can walk independently.
