Although motor score and MVC level showed no changes over the course of FES therapy, some muscles (i.e., TB and FDI) showed improved EMG activity as a result of FES therapy. Our results suggest that the con- traction level induced by electrical stimulation was suffi- cient to reactivate the ‘‘deactivated’’ motor command to these muscles, since although these muscles showed no visible EMG activity at the beginning of the therapy, following the therapy the patient was able to voluntarily contract and relax them.
