Abstrakt/ Abstract: A stroke is defined as a sudden disruption of the blood supply to the brain tissue. It is the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. The number of individuals with a stroke in the Czech Republic is 350 patients per 100,000 individuals per year. This means that roughly 35,000 people suffer from a stroke in the Czech Republic every year. Patients who have survived a stroke often suffer from hemiparesis, which affects the stereotype of walking. A characteristic feature of hemiparetic gait is circumduction movement in the hip joint and weakening of the ankle extensor groups, reduced speed, shorter step length and less load on the paretic limb. As part of the rehabilitation, it is possible to stimulate the paretic lower limb using the walkaide. It is a type of functional electrical stimulation, which causes irritation of the peripheral nerve and subsequent activation of the paretic muscle. The aim of the presented study was to propose a methodology for objectifying the influence of electrical stimulation using WalkAide on selected walking parameters.
