Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The goal of this pilot study is to observe the change of gait pattern in a patient after peroneal nerve electrical stimulation(PNST).
Methods: We analyzed the gait pattern of stroke patient using treadmill gait analysis system before and after PNST for seven weeks. The PNST was carried out for 20minutes every day except Sunday. In addition, the measurement was carried out every Saturday. At the fifth week, the PNST was not carried out to confirm whether the effect of PNST was disappeared immediately when PNST was not applied.
Results: After PNST, while heel contact time and heel max force increased and forefoot and midfoot max force decreased, the gait parameters such as cadence, velocity, swing phase, stance phase, total double support, step length, stride length, step time, stride time and forefoot contact time, were not changed.
Conclusion: Gait of a patient with cerebral stroke was changed positively after PNST.
