To evaluate possible mechanisms for functional improvement and compare ambulation training with surface peroneal nerve stimulation (PNS) versus usual care (UC) via quantitative gait analysis. Randomized controlled clinical trial. Teaching hospital of academic medical center. 110 chronic stroke survivors (> 12-wks post-stroke) with unilateral hemiparesis. Subjects were randomized to a surface PNS device or UC intervention. Subjects were treated for 12-wks and followed for 6-months post-treatment. Spatiotemporal, kinematic, and kinetic parameters of gait. Cadence (F3,153=5.81, p=.012), stride length (F3,179=20.01, p<.001), walking speed (F3,167=18.2, p<.001), anterior posterior ground reaction force (F3,164=6.61, p=.004), peak hip power in pre-swing (F3,156=8.76, p<.001), and peak ankle power at push-off (F3,149=6.38, p=.005) all improved with respect to time. However, peak ankle DF in swing (F3,184=4.99, p=.031) worsened. In general, the greatest change for all parameters occurred during the treatment period. There was no significant treatment group by time interaction effects for any of the spatiotemporal, kinematic, or kinetic parameters. Gait training with PNS and usual care was associated with improvements in peak hip power in pre-swing and peak ankle power at push-off, which may have resulted in improved cadence, stride length, and walking speed; however, there were no differences between treatment groups. Both treatment groups also experienced a decrease in peak ankle DF in swing, though the clinical implications of this finding are unclear.
