“…Studies comparing the use of an AFO to NMES in controlling foot drop during walking have found similar results. 638,639 Although subjects preferred the foot drop stimulator used in 2 multisite RCTs, both the stimulator and a conventional AFO produced equivalent functional gains. 638,640,641 Similar results were obtained in a comparison of surface peroneal nerve stimulation and use of an AFO.…”

e98Purpose-The aim of this guideline is to provide a synopsis of best clinical practices in the rehabilitative care of adults recovering from stroke. Methods-Writing group members were nominated by the committee chair on the basis of their previous work in relevant topic areas and were approved by the American Heart Association (AHA) Stroke Council's Scientific Statement Oversight Committee and the AHA's Manuscript Oversight Committee. The panel reviewed relevant articles on adults using computerized searches of the medical literature through 2014. The evidence is organized within the context of the AHA framework and is classified according to the joint AHA/American College of Cardiology and supplementary AHA methods of classifying the level of certainty and the class and level of evidence. The document underwent extensive AHA internal and external peer review, Stroke Council Leadership review, and Scientific Statements Oversight Committee review before consideration and approval by the AHA Science Advisory and Coordinating Committee. Results-Stroke rehabilitation requires a sustained and coordinated effort from a large team, including the patient and his or her goals, family and friends, other caregivers (eg, personal care attendants), physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, recreation therapists, psychologists, nutritionists, social workers, and others. Communication and coordination among these team members are paramount in maximizing the effectiveness

“…Dropped foot stimulators are usually based on a pre-programmed electrical stimulation pattern triggered by heel-off detection from a force sensing resistor heel switch placed in the shoe of the affected side. Other approaches have been proposed to trigger the stimulation patterns such as event detection based on tilt sensors signal [6]. Real-time adaptation of stimulation pattern is still not available in existing devices.…”

“…DFS are generally piloted by a heel switch positioned in the shoe of the affected side with stimulation being triggered ON by heel rise of the affected foot and triggered OFF by heel strike. Other sensors have been proposed instead of foot-switches such as tilt sensors [1]. Events are the localized on a reference representative pattern and associated to stimulation triggering.…”
