hemiparetic stroke patients, who are impacted by the denervation, muscular atrophy, and spasticity, typically experience an abnormal gait pattern due to muscular weakness and the incapacity to voluntary contract certain ankle and hip muscles at the appropriate walking phase. liberson et al., (1961) were the first to pioneer fes in stroke patients. more recently, there have been a number of studies that have been conducted in this area. a systematic review conducted in 2012 on the use of fes in chronic stroke included seven randomized controlled trials with a total of 231 participants. the review found a small treatment effect for using fes for the 6 minute walking test.
