The influence of functional electrically stimulated ankle plantar flexors on the swinging lower extremity was studied in incomplete spinal cord injured persons. Stimulation sequences with different time and frequency parameters were delivered to ankle plantar flexors and knee extensors and to the peroneal nerve. The results of kinematic assessment showed that stimulated calf muscles provide noticeable forward and upward propulsion to the swinging leg.
