The difference between the effectiveness of body-weight-supported treadmill training combined with functional electrical stimulation and sole body-weight-supported treadmill training for improving gait parameters in stroke patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Body-weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES) is considered an effective intervention method to improve gait parameters in stroke patients. In this article, we compared the effect of BWSTT combined with FES and BWSTT only on gait parameters in stroke patients.

Methods

Two researchers searched for literature published before January 5, 2021, in seven Chinese and English databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Ovid, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP. Meta-analysis was then performed on various data collected, namely, 10 Meters Walking Test (10MWT), gait speed, Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Comprehensive Spasticity Scale (CSS), Functional Am
