Abstract: Study compared the effects of conventional gait training (CGT), gait training using an electromechanical gait trainer (EGT), and gait training using an EGT with functional electrical stimulation (EGT-FES) in people with subacute stroke. Outcome measures includes the 5-meter walking speed test, the Elderly Mobility Scale, the Berg Balance Scale, the Functional Ambulatory Category, the Motricity Index leg subscale, the Functional Independence Measure, and the Barthel Index. Results showed that participants who trained on the EGT, with or without FES, had faster gain, better mobility, and more improvement in functional ambulation than participants who underwent CGT training.
