Comparison Between Implanted Functional Electrical Stimulation and Foot Orthosis
Summary
The implantable feet stimulator proposes to correct the feet's STEPPAGE observed after central nervous system's injury such as hemiplegia secondary to stroke. It aims to improve the patient's walking floor by removing the STEPPAGE, reducing the effort of walking, facilitating the flow and removing anomalies compensatory (such as the mowing of the hip). Its objective is to improve the patient's autonomy locomotor.
The aim of this study is to compare the results of the implementation of an implanted stimulator in the levator muscles of the foot to the results obtained by wearing a splint-type reliever, which is considered standard treatment, in order to determine if the implanted stimulation may be proposed in the treatment of foot drop off a neurological center.

Electrical Equipment And Supplies
Apparatus and instruments that generate and operate with ELECTRICITY, and their electrical components.
Evoked Potentials, Motor
The electrical response evoked in a muscle or motor nerve by electrical or magnetic stimulation. Common methods of stimulation are by transcranial electrical and TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION. It is often used for monitoring during neurosurgery.
Electrophysiological Phenomena
The electrical properties, characteristics of living organisms, and the processes of organisms or their parts that are involved in generating and responding to electrical charges.
