Neural Prostheses and Gait Performance: Model-Based Strategies

VA Office of Research and Development·interventional·Posted Oct 8, 2009·Updated Aug 9, 2019

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating FES for Hemiplegia. Completed, enrolled 9 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this research is to find the optimal patterns of functional electrical stimulation (FES) of muscles in the lower legs that will improve walking ability in those who have had a stroke and at the same time ensure walking stability. FES involves applying small electric currents to the nerves, which cause the muscles to contract. FES research projects vary from simple investigations of the therapeutic effects of exercise on muscle function and skin health, to more complex studies of functional movements such as standing or walking.
