Brief Summary

Among the sequelae of stroke, gait disorder is directly linked to the degree of autonomy in the daily life of patients. It is considered significant effects on their Quality of Life(QOL). Further methods of rehabilitation are required for convalescent patients to recover their function soon and better, due to a multitudes of recovery patient with troubles such as gait problem. This trial is studying to investigate the effects of gait training with a functional electrical stimulation (FES) 'WalkAide\[R\](WA)' to improve the lower-limb function and ambulation in convalescent stroke patients.
