Implanted Drop Foot Stimulator for Hemiparetic Patients

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the implantable drop foot stimulator \"ActiGait\" (Ottobock Health Care, Duderstadt, Germany) on gait in hemiparetic patients. While several studies investigated the effects of implanted systems on walking speed and gait endurance, only a few studies have focused on the system\'s impact on kinematics and long-term outcomes. Therefore, our aim was to further investigate the effects of the implanted system ActiGait on gait kinematics and spatiotemporal parameters with a 1-year follow-up period.
