Walking on an uneven surface: the effect of common peroneal stimulation on Gait parameters and relationship between perceived and measured benefits in a sample of participants with a drop-foot

Tue 12th Jun, 2007

A study that looked at the effect the ODFS had on walking over rough ground simulated by placing obstacles under a 10m strip of carpet.  Walking speed and PCI improved when the ODFS was used and this improvement was proportionally bigger over rough ground than smooth ground.  Patients perceived benefit from the FES correlated with PCI but not walking speed.
