Table 1.
Demographic and clinical information about the 13 recruited subjects. Data for Subjects # 3, 4, 12, and 13 were not included in the analysis because these subjects were unable to walk faster than their self-selected speeds without compromising safety during data collection (shown as X for the Fast speed). FES-logic refers to the logic (1 versus 2) used for timing of plantarflexor FES for each subject. Logic 1 delivered FES from the time the paretic hindfoot foot switch was off the ground until the paretic forefoot foot switch was off the ground. Logic 2 delivered FES from the time the non-paretic hindfoot foot switch contacted the ground until the paretic forefoot foot switch was off the ground. Ankle ROM refers to the passive ankle range of motion measured with the knee flexed at ~90°; N/A: ankle ROM data were not obtained from these subjects. The means and standard deviations presented are for the 9 subjects included in the analysis, who were able to walk at both SS and FAST speeds.
