Objectives To determine the feasibility and safety of implementing a 12-week locomotor intervention targeting paretic propulsion deficits during walking through the joining of 2 independent interventions, walking at maximal speed on a treadmill and functional electrical stimulation of the paretic ankle musculature (FastFES); to determine the effects of FastFES training on individual subjects; and to determine the influence of baseline impairment severity on treatment outcomes. Design Single group pre-post preliminary study investigating a novel locomotor intervention. Setting Research laboratory. Participants Individuals (N=13) with locomotor deficits after stroke. Intervention FastFES training was provided for 12 weeks at a frequency of 3 sessions per week and 30 minutes per session. Main Outcome Measures Measures of gait mechanics, functional balance, short- and long-distance walking function, and self-perceived participation were collected at baseline, posttraining, and 3-month follow-up evaluations. Changes after treatment were assessed using pairwise comparisons and compared with known minimal clinically important differences or minimal detectable changes. Correlation analyses were run to determine the correlation between baseline clinical and biomechanical performance versus improvements in walking speed. Results Twelve of the 13 subjects that were recruited completed the training. Improvements in paretic propulsion were accompanied by improvements in functional balance, walking function, and self-perceived participation (each P<.02 of which were maintained at follow-up. eleven the subjects achieved meaningful functional improvements. baseline impairment was predictive absolute but not relative change after training.> Conclusions This report demonstrates the safety and feasibility of the FastFES intervention and supports further study of this promising locomotor intervention for persons poststroke. |
