Novel Assistive Device and Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy

Stroke causes neurological deficits, impacting walking, balance, strength, and independence, with high mortality and economic burden. Moreover, it brings serious mental and economic stress to patients and their families because of loss of independence. Current rehabilitation methods include standard therapy and electrical stimulation. This study introduces a novel hybrid approach combining use of an assistive device, the LegoPress, paired with closed-loop functional electrical stimulation for subacute stroke patients' lower limbs in a seated position, aiming to improve motor function particularly gait and balance.
