“…Furthermore, Walkami improved the weight-bearing ability by allowing users to efferently control the affected ankle during the stance phase in the affected leg by assisting dorsal flexion and reducing the time of stance phase by moving to one-foot support from two feet support [36]. Furthermore, it helped by lengthening the swing phase time to create a more relaxed forward stepping and considerably improving the gait.…”

BACKGROUND: Problems with motor functions, balance and gait ability commonly occur in stroke patients and cause asymmetric posture imbalance and gait patterns. OBJECTIVE: We examined the effects of gait training (GT) combined with portable functional electrical stimulation (FES) on motor functions, balance and gait ability of stroke patients. METHODS: A single blind, randomized control trial was conducted with 34 post stroke patients who were randomly allocated to two groups: 1) FES + GT group (n= 17) and the placebo FES + GT (PLBO + GT) group (n= 17). All interventions were given for 30 minutes, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) was used to measure motor function of lower extremity. Performance oriented mobility assessment (POMA) was used to balance and gait ability. OptoGait was used to analyze gait ability. RESULTS: Both groups showed significant improvements in motor function, balance and gait ability. The FES + GT group showed significantly greater improvement in motor function, balance and gait abilities after four weeks compared to the PLBO + GT group. CONCLUSION: It was found that the gait training applied with FES is effective in improving the motor function, balance and gait abilities of stroke patients.

“…[ 7 ] An AFO partly restricts the range of motion of the ankle to alleviate or prevent foot drop symptoms during walking, improving safety or fitted with a rehabilitation for gait training. [ 6 , 8 , 9 ] Previous studies have shown that an AFO allows for faster walking speed and improved stability by preventing foot drop and thereby maintaining the suitable position of the ankle joint during the swing phase of the gait cycle. [ 10 , 11 ] Therefore, AFOs have been used by patients with stroke and foot drop for several years.…”

An ankle foot orthosis (AFO) is a standard type of orthosis applied to immediately treat foot drop symptoms. Kinesiology taping (KT) is a therapeutic method used in patients with neurological diseases, such as stroke, as well as in patients after orthopedic and sports injuries. This study aimed to compare outcomes of AFO treatment with those of KT to investigate the effect on gait ability in patients with foot drop after stroke. We recruited 18 patients exhibiting foot drop from stroke. Gait ability was assessed under 2 conditions: treatment with KT and that with AFO using the GAITRite system according to the following parameters: cadence, velocity, swing time, stance time, step length, and stride length. As a result, gait ability after treatment with KT and that after treatment with AFO showed no significant differences in cadence (P = .851), velocity (P = .865), swing time (P = .289 and .123), stance time (P = .255 and .711), step length (P = .955 and .975), and stride length (P = .711 and .690) of the affected and less-affected limbs. This study demonstrated that KT and AFO use have similar effects on gait function in patients with foot drop after stroke. Thus, treatment of foot drop with KT may be an alternative in patients for whom AFO use is contraindicated.

“…Hemiplegia is the most common sequelae of stroke. It has been surveyed that more than 50% of patients with hemiplegia suffer from lower limb spasm, and the severity of spasm increases over time (Suri et al, 2018 ; Tomida et al, 2019 ; Tsuchimoto et al, 2019 ; Park et al, 2021 ). Stroke patients with hemiplegia have a high incidence of lower limb motor dysfunction, which is difficult to recover with a poor prognosis.…”

It was aimed to discuss the effect of bed-type rehabilitation robots under machine learning combined with intensive motor training on the motor function of lower limbs of stroke patients with hemiplegia. A total of 80 patients with stroke hemiplegia were taken as the subjects, who all had a course of treatment for less than 6 months in the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of Ganzhou Hospital. These patients were divided into the experimental group (40 cases) and the control group (40 cases) by random number method. For patients in the control group, conventional intensive motor training was adopted, whereas the conventional intensive motor training combined with the bed-type rehabilitation robot under machine learning was applied for patients in the experimental group. Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Lower Extremity (FMA-LE), Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI), and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used to evaluate the motor function and mobility of patients. The human–machine collaboration experiment system was constructed, and the software and hardware of the control system were designed. Then, the experimental platform for lower limb rehabilitation training robots was built, and the rehabilitation training methods for stroke patients with hemiplegia were determined by completing the contact force experiment. The results showed that the prediction effect of back-propagation neural network (BPNN) was better than that of the radial basis neural network (RBNN). The bed-type rehabilitation robot under machine learning combined with intensive motor training could significantly improve the motor function and mobility of the lower limbs of stroke patients with hemiplegia.
