Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of FES on the clinical test patients who had disturbance gait due to cereberal vascular accident. The subjects for study were 16 hemiplegic patients (9 Male and 7 Female) who can gait with or without device. Their average age was 55 and they received average of 20.19 month of treatment collected data analysis was completed by using one-way analysis variable(ANOVA), Pearson ($-1{\leq}r{\geq}1$). The results were as follows : 1) There was difference in four variable (stride length,gait speed,gait cadence) between at the biginning and at the end of the treatment of FES (p<0.01). 2) There was relationship in capacity of activity between MAS and stride length (r = 0.751), gait speed (r = 0.689) but no relationship gait cadence (r = 0.236). 3) Age revealed relationship of stride length (r = -0.727), gait speed (r = -0.725), gait cadenc (r = -0.362). 4) There was no relationship in months post-CVA with MAS (r = 0.171), stride length (r = -0.110), gait speed (r = -0.096), gait cacedce (r = -0.154).
