摘要: Objective: To measure the effect of Odstock Dropped Foot Stimulator (ODFS), a common peroneal stimulator, on effort and speed walking. Design: A randomized controlled trial.Subjects: Hemiplegic patients who had suffered single stroke at least six months prior to start trial whose walking was impaired by drop-foot.Interventions: The treatment, functional electrical stimulation (FES) group, used stimulator received course physiotherapy; control group physiotherapy alone.Main outcome measures: Changes in measured over 10 m physiological cost index (PCI).Results: Thirty-two subjects completed trial, 16 FES group. Mean increase between beginning end 20.5% (when used), 5.2% Improvement also PCI with reduction 24.9% stimul...
