Abstract:
After failure of other therapeutic measures, electrical stimulation was applied to promote gait rehabilitation in a patient with severe brain injury and complete left hemiplegia. The favourable results reported in the literature were confirmed. Despite the long interval between injury and institution of electrical stimulation, independent ambulation was quickly restored.
