Abstract		The aim of the paper is to present the new approach to the control of the functional electrical stimulation during treadmill training. The emphasis is on sensory supported swing phase estimation and stimulation entensity control depending on the aformentioned estimated swing phase quality. Patients involved in the proposed treadmill rehabilitation are incomplete spinal cord injured with slight ability for walking and therefore may voluntarily influence on their lower extremity movements and therefore on swing phase quality. A patient (C4-5, ASIA C) showed significant decrease of stimulation ntensity while maintaining the same swing phase quality.
