Article

Neurologic rehabilitation interventions may be either therapeutic or
compensatory. Included in this article are lower extremity functional electrical
stimulation, body weight-supported treadmill training, and lower extremity
robotic-assisted gait training. These poststroke gait training therapies are
predicated on activity-dependent neuroplasticity. All three interventions have
been trialed extensively in research and clinical settings to show a positive
effect on various gait parameters and measures of walking performance. This
article provides an overview of evidence-based research that supports the
efficacy of these three interventions to improve gait, as well as providing
perspective on future developments to enhance poststroke gait in neurologic
rehabilitation.
