Kinematic and kinetic analysis of the walking pattern in hemiplegic patients with foot-drop using a peroneal nerve stimulator.
To analyze the walking pattern in hemiplegic patients using a peroneal nerve stimulator to locate possible harmful mechanical effects on the musculo-skeletal system. ⋯ Applied correctly, the peroneal nerve stimulator can be used as an aid for foot-drop correction in hemiplegic patients without causing excessive wear on the joints in the lower extremity.
