Examination of Factors Related to the Effect of Improving Gait Speed With Functional Electrical Stimulation Intervention for Stroke Patients

ConclusionThe factors related to 10mWT showing changes beyond the minimal clinically important difference were found to be patient gender, number of interventions, and active ankle joint dorsiflexion ROM before intervention. When patients with stroke who have greater active ankle joint ROM, and are female, use FES positively, they may benefit more from using FES.Level of EvidenceII
