Pms104 - Efficiency Examination of Functional Electrical Stimulation in the Rehabilitation of Gait Among Post-Stroke Patients

Abstract

17.84 ± 0.42s), (DS ¼ 17.69 ± 0.45s) while there was no significant effect (p ¼ 0.059) in sprint performance (NS ¼ 2.79 ± 0.14s), (DS ¼ 2.74 ± 0.17s). Significant improvement (0.045) was also detected in reaction time on the last of the testing days (Day1 ¼ 0.055 ± 0.025s), (Day2 ¼ 0.049 ± 0.024s). CONCLUSIONS: Results show that dynamic stretching warm-up has only a significant effect on sprint performance and agility if performed on longer distances or longer durations. Moreover the reaction time could be decreased by the adequate amount repetition of the specific movements.
