Scientific title | Clinical trial to compare electrical stimulation and the conventional ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) in the treatment of dropped foot following stroke |
Study objectives | The aim of this study is to compare functional electrical stimulation (FES) with ankle foot orthosis (AFO) in the treatment of dropped foot following stroke. |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Foot drop |
Intervention | 1. One group treated with AFO 2. Second group with electrical stimulation |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | 1. Walking speed (measured over 10 metres and timed by a stopwatch) 2. Physiological Cost Index (PCI) 3. Endurance (the total distance the participant is able to walk without an AFO or FES in 3 minutes) 4. Calf spasticity (measured using the modified Ashworth Scale) 5. Mobility (measured using the Rivermead Mobility Index) Outcome measures were taken every six weeks. |
Secondary outcome measures | Not provided at time of registration |
Overall study start date | 01/01/1998 |
