“…Compared to earlier DF FES-based systems, muscle stimulators evolved into more portable, and lightweight solutions, with current commercial system weighting less than 100g [23,73]. Portable stimulators featuring multichannels are also becoming increasingly more common, allowing a higher number of muscles to be controlled during gait [27,28,56,64]. However, the well-established commercial surface-based FES solutions still rely only on single-channel stimulation of the TA during the swing phase [46,50,73].…”

This work presents a review on the technological advancements over the last decades of functional electrical stimulation based neuroprostheses to correct drop foot. Functional electrical stimulation is a technique that has been put into practice for several years now, and has been shown to functionally restore and rehabilitate individuals with movement disorders, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injury, among others. The purpose of this technical review is to bring together information from a variety of sources and shed light on the field's most important challenges, to help in identifying new research directions. The review covers the main causes of drop foot and its associated gait implications, along with several functional electrical stimulation-based neuroprostheses used to correct it, developed within academia and currently available in the market. These systems are thoroughly analyzed and discussed with particular emphasis on actuation, sensing and control of open- and closed-loop architectures. In the last part of this work, recommendations on future research directions are suggested.

“…Malezic's work showed, for both patients' groups, gait improvements of 22%, 10% and 9% in velocity, cadence and stride length, respectively. Very recently, Chou et al [27] performed similar experiments to Malezic's reciprocal arm swing trials, with triceps brachii stimulation.…”
