Deans' stroke musings: Spatiotemporal, kinematic and kinetic assessment of the effects of a foot drop stimulator for home‑based rehabilitation of patients with chronic stroke: A randomized clinical trial

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Spatiotemporal, kinematic and kinetic assessment of the effects of a foot drop stimulator for home‑based rehabilitation of patients with chronic stroke: A randomized clinical trial

At least in the US, once you're chronic you are no longer seeing doctors or therapists so this would never be usable, and insurance would have long ago stopped paying. The benefits? of the US medical system, they all accrue to insurance companies, never the patients.

Abstract:

Study explored the ability of a portable peroneal nerve-targeting electrical stimulator to improve gait ability by adjusting the foot-ankle position during walking in patients with chronic stroke undergoing home-based rehabilitation. Thirty-one patients with chronic stroke and ankle-foot motor impairment were randomized to receive 3 weeks of gait training, which involved using the transcutaneous peroneal nerve stimulator while walking (tPNS group) or conventional home and/or community gait training therapy (CT group). Functional assessments were performed before and after the 3-week intervention. The outcome measures included spatiotemporal gait parameters, three-dimensional kinematic and kinetic data on the ankle-foot joint, and a clinical motor and balance function assessment based on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) score and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Additionally, 16 age-matched healthy adults served as a baseline control of three-dimensional gait data for both trial groups. The FMA-LE and BBS scores improved in both the tPNS groups and CT groups from before to after training. Participants in the tPNS group exhibited significant differences in spatiotemporal gait parameters, including double-feet support, stride length, and walking speed of affected side, and the unaffected foot off within a gait cycle after training. Additionally, the tPNS group exhibited significant differences in kinematic parameters during gait cycles after 3 weeks of training. The use of a portable tPNS device during walking tasks appeared to improve spatiotemporal gait parameters and ankle and foot angles more effectively than conventional home rehabilitation in patients with chronic stroke.
