| Trial Name: |
Stroke #5
|
| Intro: |
Standard rehabilitation does not restore normal, safe walking to many stroke survivors. Functional Neuromuscular Stimulation (FNS), using intramuscular electrodes (applying electrical stimulation to the muscles), has been shown to help retrain walking patterns for people who have had a stroke more than one year ago. |

| Description: |
Standard rehabilitation does not restore normal, safe walking to many stroke survivors. Functional Neuromuscular Stimulation (FNS), using intramuscular electrodes (applying electrical stimulation to the muscles), has been shown to help retrain walking patterns for people who have had a stroke more than one year ago. This study is designed to look at the benefits of FNS and treadmill training for people who have had a stroke in the past year. Participants who qualify will be provided with 48 treatment sessions with a physical therapist for gait training at no cost. |
| Criteria: |
Participants must be 21 years of age or older. Participants must be medically stable (not becoming sicker) and must have had a stroke within the past 1 to 11 months. Participants cannot have a pacemaker or chronic, worsening medical condition. Participants will be screened by a physician and therapist to determine eligibility for the study. |
