Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of functional electrical stimulation of the lower extremities in stroke patients at different stages of motor rehabilitation.
Materials and methods. The study involved 80 patients with motor disorders after stroke. The studied treatment methods included passive and passive-active functional electrical stimulation (FES) in combination with the THERATrainer Tigo and active FES (neuro-orthosis) WalkAide.
Results. The analysis of motor status indicators, namely the Berg Balance Scale, 6-minute walk test, and dynamic walking index showed the maximum efficacy of active FES with biofeedback.
Conclusion. When prescribing and selecting a method of electrical stimulation, preference in neurorehabilitation should be given to methods of passive-active and active functional stimulation.
