Observation of the Gait Cycle in Patients With Hemiplegia in Order to Improve the Triggering of Functional Electrical Stimulation

The main objective of this study is the estimation and comparison of the dephasing between the switch heel and the inertial placed on the paretic foot compared to the events of the gait cycle determined by a Gaitrite system (beginning and end of the swing phase) in conditions without stimulation.

Inclusion criteria

  • patient has had a first ischemic or hemorragic stroke (supratentorial) within the last 6 months for the "recent stroke" group, or more than a year ago for the "old stroke" group
  • the patient can walk 10 m without human help, with or without a cane, and a deficit of the foot levator requiring the use of technical assistance to remedy this or involving walking problems
  • electrostimulated contraction of the anterior tibialis is possible
  • patient has been informed and has signed the consent form

Treatment and study plan

Gait Analysis

Other

A Gaitrite system, a goniometer, and EMG are used to record data while the patient walks 10 meters.

Primary outcomes

  1. Timing of heel strike (s)

    Time frame: 10 seconds

    The goal is to use the data generated by this observational study to predict the timing of the heel strike when a patient walks.
