在基线和每天使用腓神经表面刺激器4周后，对两名在进入研究前使用踝足矫形器（AFO）的慢性卒中幸存者进行了评价。参与者在没有背屈肌辅助装置的情况下，使用改良的Emory功能性Ambassador Profile（mEFAP）进行评估。参与者证明mEFAP的所有5个组成部分相对于基线均有所改善。这些病例报告表明，增强功能性Ambrosion可能是腓神经刺激的重要治疗效果。潜在的机制进行了讨论。需要对照试验来证明因果关系。
Two chronic stroke survivors who utilized an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) prior to study entry were evaluated at baseline and after 4 weeks of daily use of a surface peroneal nerve stimulator. Participants were assessed without their dorsiflexor assistive device, using the modified Emory Functional Ambulation Profile (mEFAP). The participants demonstrated improvement in all 5 components of the mEFAP relative to baseline. These case reports indicate that enhanced functional ambulation may be an important therapeutic effect of peroneal nerve stimulation. Potential mechanisms are discussed. Controlled trials are needed to demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship.
