- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Changes in biomechanical parameters (kinematics, kinetics, spatio-temporal parameters) in the instrumented 3D gait analysis with and without the FES system, determined at the time of study inclusion and after three months.<br>Example outcome measure: ankle joint kinematics throughout the gait cycle.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Comparison of initial assessment to final assessment after three months.<br><br>Objective parameters:<br>1. Proprioception, deviation from target to actual position in angle reproduction, measured using instrumented 3D motion analysis.<br><br>Subjective parameters:<br>1. Quality of life, SF-12 scores (Short Form 12).<br>2. Satisfaction with assistive devices, QUEST scores (Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology).<br>3. Impact of dual tasks on daily activities, DIDA-Q score (Dual-task Impact on Daily-living Activities Questionnaire).<br>4. Toe dragging/falls, scores based on the number of toe drags/falls over a two-week period.
