Abstract		Since 1981-1991 19 out of 35 hemiplegic patients with previous implanted electrodes were evaluated, comparing different methods as clinical observation, gait parameters and Mwaves of subcutaneously stimulated muscles before and after implantation. Results show that inspite of disadvantages (displacement subcutaneous electrodes excessive aversion of the foot in swing phase) implantable peroneal electrical stimulator from rehabilitation point of view as suitable orthosis was chosen. Because of high level of acceptance, stability of the response should be achieved, which requires in conclussion additional modification of the implant to get adequate electrode-nenre interface.
