The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the effect of multichannel functionnal electrical stimulation for subchronic stroke gait rehabilitation. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does this new therapy help improve walking speed? * Evaluate other aspects of therapeutic effectiveness such as different aspects of walking endurance, mobility, postural instability and autonomy. * Evaluate physiological aspects of autonomous gait such as spasticity, muscle strength and motor and sensorimotor recovery. * Evaluate the acceptability of this new therapy and its effect on quality of life.
First ischemic stroke or first hemorrhagic supratentorial stroke
Stroke must be unique
Stoke event in the last 12 months but no sooner than 6 months (post subchronic stroke phase)
Able to walk with the support of one person and one or multiple walking aids (new functionnal ambulatory classification equal to 1, 2 or 3)
Multiple strokes
Does not respond sufficiently to electrical stimulation
Contraindication to electrical stimulation
Comprehension, psychiatric or cognitive problems that could hamper the protocol
