NO
To assess the feasibility and acceptability of an integrated home-based functional electrical stimulation (FES) and a behavioral implementation intention intervention (III) for improving physical function among stroke patients with physical function limitations in Hong Kong; To evaluate the efficacy of the combined intervention and compare it with the efficacy of a home-based FES intervention alone and the efficacy of usual care (the control treatment) in terms of improving physical function of stroke patients (e.g., walking speed and mobility index)
Efficacy
Primary outcomes will be the feasibility and acceptability of intervention, such as eligibility rates, recruitment, and retention. Acceptability will be measured by drop-out rates and qualitative feedback obtained via interviews with intervention participants and interventionists at the conclusion of the trial.
Walking speed, balance, Stroke Impact Scale, Self-efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease Scale, and quality of life. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention Month 0, 2, and 4.

Treatment
| Device,equipment | Behavior,custom |
Intervention group 1: Home-based functional electrical stimulation (FES) intervention will require participants to walk daily for at least 1 hour using a commercial FES device for 2 consecutive months. The study device is a battery-operated single-channel electrical stimulator approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treating foot drop. The participants will first receive training in the set-up, fitting, and safe use of the device. Once the participants can walk safely and consistently with supervision, they will be given an FES device for use in ongoing gait practice at home and in the community.
Intervention group 2: Combined intervention (Home-based FES intervention + III) will receive behavioral implementation intention intervention (III) in addition to the FES intervention. A volitional help sheet will be used to help participants make specific action and coping plans, with two telephone follow-up calls.
Control group
The participants in the control group will receive the usual treatment and care that follow the government guidelines, including the instruction on upper limb training.

Male and Female
The eligibility criteria for participation include: (1) aged 18 years or older, (2) having a post-stroke period of 6 to 60 months, (3) exhibiting impaired ankle voluntary movement with muscle strength of dorsiflexion less than grade 4, (4) being able to walk for 6 minutes with or without walking aids, (5) being able to communicate effectively and provide informed consent.
The exclusion criteria will be (1) currently participating in other rehabilitative projects; (2) a serious medical condition preventing study procedures (consent and assessment); (3) severe pain in the lower limbs and back; (4) contraindications to doing physical exercise; (5) contraindications to FES use (e.g., skin problems or recently open wound in the affected leg, or any electric or metallic implants).
