Novel Treatment Strategy
Several researchers have investigated the combination of FES with other therapeutic strategies to help stroke survivors regain functional mobility. Two of these strategies, which have been proven to be beneficial, include body-weight support treadmill training (BWSTT) and mental practice (Knutson et al,. 2015). In order to optimize the therapeutic effects of FES, we propose a combination of FES, BWSTT, and mental practice as a new intervention strategy to optimize recovery from foot drop as a result of hemiparesis (Figure 15).
