“…For this reason, researchers and clinicians have explored a variety of neurorehabilitation approaches in search of an effective means to restore post-stroke walking function. These approaches include functional electrical stimulation (FES) (Popovic et al, 1999 ; Kesar et al, 2009 , 2010 ; Sabut et al, 2013 ; Chung et al, 2014 ; O’Dell et al, 2014 ; Pilkar et al, 2014 ; Auchstaetter et al, 2015 ; Chantraine et al, 2016 ), ankle–foot orthoses (AFOs) (Ferreira et al, 2013 ; Tyson et al, 2013 ; Kobayashi et al, 2016 ), exoskeletons (Nilsson et al, 2014 ; Bortole et al, 2015 ; Buesing et al, 2015 ), partial body weight support (Ng et al, 2008 ; Lee et al, 2013 ) and split-belt treadmill training systems (Reisman et al, 2007 ; Malone and Bastian, 2014 ), and robotic gait trainers (Pennycott et al, 2012 ; Mehrholz et al, 2013 ; Bae et al, 2014 ; Hussain, 2014 ; Dundar et al, 2015 ). Each of these approaches has shown varying levels of promise for improving post-stroke walking function.…”
