Combined effects of fast treadmill walking and functional electrical stimulation on post-stroke gaitTrisha M Kesar
Department of Physical Therapy, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716, United States
Gait Posture 33:309-13. 2011..We posit that the enhancement of multiple aspects of post-stroke gait during FAST-FES suggest that FAST-FES may have potential as a post-stroke gait rehabilitation intervention...
A phenomenological model that predicts forces generated when electrical stimulation is superimposed on submaximal volitional contractionsRamu Perumal
Department of Physical Therapy, 301 McKinly Laboratory, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716, USA
