Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on gait performance in chronic stroke with inadequate ankle control - A randomized controlled trial.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been used to improve muscle strength and decrease spasticity of the ankle joint in stroke patients. However, it is unclear how NMES could influence dynamic spasticity of ankle plantarflexors and gait asymmetry during walking. The study aimed to evaluat...
