Abstract		Sensory supported electrical stimulation of the peroneal nerve during treadmill walking is proposed as a gait training modality in incomplete spinal cord injured (SCI) patients. Multisensor device provides the information on the tilt of the shank during the swing phase. The provided infonnation significantly improves the triggering instant of the electrical stimulation. In the same time the swing phase estimation serves as a reference to determine the needed motor augmentation support. Both approaches, triggering as well as the intensity control of the functional electrical stimulation, were applied on healthy person and on C4-5 SCI patient.
