Summary
This study tested a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate multiple leg muscles in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The goal was to help them walk more naturally by retraining how their muscles work together. Fifty-three participants used the device for 18 sessions over about a month, and researchers measured changes in muscle activity and walking patterns.
