Summary

The main hypothesis of the present study is that a safer knee joint is likely to encourage post stroke patients at an early stage to rely on their hemiparetic leg and transfer their weight onto it while walking. The main purpose of the present work is to assess the feasibility of FES-induced muscular control of the hemiplegic knee joint in order to improve stance phase support symmetry recovery in individuals with post stroke hemiplegia. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is delivered to the quadriceps and hamstrings of the paretic limb based on the real-time estimation of the knee angle and support phase.

Functional Electrical Stimulation FES

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is delivered to the quadriceps and hamstrings of the paretic limb in patients with hemiplegia. It is based on the real-time estimation of the knee angle and support phase during gait.
