Outcome measures
Primary outcome
1. 10m Walk Test (10MLT);
2. 6 minutes walk test (6MWT).
Secondary outcome
1. Berg Balance Scale (BBS);
2. Motricity Index of the lower extremities (MI);
3. Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS);
4. Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC);
5. Ankle movement; the maximum dorsiflexion of the ankle.
Background summary
This study is to identify the effects of a functional elektrical peroneal stimulation (FES) compared to ankle foot orthosis (AFO) on the recovery of walking ability in stroke patients with hemiparesis in the sub/ post-acute phase?
Study objective
There is no difference in het use of Functional electrical stimulation compared to the use of an ankle foot orthosis in the subacute / post-acute phase after stroke on the recovery of walking ability.
Study design
The participants were evaluated before and immediately after the training program.
Intervention
Participants are randomised to sessions of 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks of physiotherapy using either the FES walking aid or the AFO.
