Effect of combination four-month application of functional electrical stimulation and postural correction to walk and stability patient with multiple sclerosis - case study

Abstract

Background: One of the most common gait pattern abnormalities demonstrated by people with Multiple sclerosis (pwMS) is foot drop, caused by decreased gait efficiency and gait instability, leading to unwanted stumbles and falls. A more recently developer alternative to the AFO is functional electrical stimulation (FES).

In this case study we would like to document the efficacy of the fourmonthly FES application together with postural correction on gait and stability by patient with MS.
