Functional Electrical Stimulation for Treatment of Chronic Foot Drop Due to an Incomplete Sacral Nerve Root Lesion: A Case Study

Abstract: A prevalent cause of foot drop is peripheral nerve injury (P I). The current treatment options for foot drop after P I include surgery for nerve repair, physical therapy (PT) for strengthening and bracing for support. The purpose of this case study is to describe the outcomes of treating a patient with foot drop caused by P I with functional electrical stimulation (FES). The patient discussed has foot drop due to a sacral nerve root lesion resulting from a pelvic fracture. After 1 year of PT intervention inclu… Show more

“…The muscle contractions were evaluated at the facial muscle directions of zygomaticus minor, zygomaticus major, platysma, risorius, depressor anguli oris and orbicularis oris. Of the 22 combinations, (1)(2)(3)(4) and have resulted in very strong muscle contractions in the direction of zygomaticus minor, where as (16-4) and (4-16) have resulted in very strong muscle contractions in the direction of zygomaticus major. (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) has also resulted in eliciting a strong muscle contraction towards a direction in between risorius and depressor anguli oris.…”

“…We conducted a multichannel stimulation to evaluate the possibility of combining AU like muscle contractions generated through selective stimulation by firing two pairs of electrodes simultaneously. Figure 7 shows the results of separate and simultaneous stimulation of electrode pairs (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) and (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). The numerical values for the top row indicate the total protruded and depressed volumes for the comparison against the neutral face.…”
