This study explored combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and functional electrical stimulation (FES) with physical therapy to improve toe clearance in stroke survivors. Two participants showed modest gains in minimum toe clearance (MTC) after the combined intervention.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Foot drop is a common post-stroke gait impairment, reducing toe clearance and increasing fall risk.
- Current treatments for post-stroke foot drop have limitations in improving gait parameters like minimum toe clearance (MTC).
