ABSTRACT
After stroke, persistent gait deficits cause debilitating falls and poor functional mobility. Gait restoration can preclude these outcomes. Sixteen subjects (>12 months poststroke) were randomized to two gait training groups. Group 1 received 12 weeks of treatment, 4 times a week, 90 min per session, including 30 min strengthening and coordination, 30 min over-ground gait training, and 30 min weight-supported treadmill training. Group 2 received the same treatment, but also used functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) with intramuscular (IM) electrodes (FNS-IM) for each aspect of treatment. Outcome measures were kinematics of gait swing phase. Both groups showed no significant pre-/posttreatment gains in peak swing hip flexion. Group 1 (no FNS) had no significant gains in other gait components at posttreatment or at follow-up. Group 2 (FNS-IM) had significant gains in peak swing knee flexion and mid-swing ankle dorsiflexion (p < 0.05) that were maintained for 6 months.
