Summary
This study tested a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate leg muscles and improve walking in people who have had a stroke. Researchers first studied healthy adults to understand normal walking muscle patterns, then used that information to guide the device's stimulation in stroke survivors. The goal was to see if the device could help restore more natural walking. The study involved 30 participants and was completed.
