Table 2. Main outcome parameters of the affected leg including the dorsal extension of the ankle, the steps per minute and the length of each step.

Parameter (mean ± SD) Baseline without stimulation Baseline with surface electrical stimulation Follow-up without stimulation Follow-up with active ActiGait Comparison of baseline without stimulation and with stimulation (n = 7) Comparison of baseline without stimulation and follow-up with ActiGait (n = 7)
Dorsal extension of the ankle at initial contact (°) -4.6 ± 7.5 2.1 ± 9.6 -3.9 ± 6.2 5,7 ± 8.3 p = 0.028 p = 0.018
Cadence (steps/min) 82.7 ± 27.4 80.6 ± 25.4 76.1 ± 21.2 83.5 ± 19.1 p = 0.735 p = 0.31
Step length (m) 0.45 ± 0.18 0.45 ± 0.17 0.45 ± 0.16 0.50 ± 0.16 p = 0.553 p = 0.075

All parameters were measured at baseline and one-year follow up. P-values for the comparison between baseline without stimulation and baseline/follow up with stimulation are reported in the right-hand columns.
