Contralaterally Controlled NMES in Chronic Ankle Dorsiflexor Paresis After Stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Electrical stimulator for Stroke and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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.
