Assessment timeline. S00 is a single FES-assisted walking session before the FES-assisted gait training for 12 weeks (36 sessions, S01 to S36).

Joint angles normalized to gait cycle. Hip, knee and ankle angles for CP01 (GMFCS level III) and CP02 (GMFCS Level II) in the left and right panels, respectively. The three conditions evaluated were (1) before application of FES = baseline (NoStim) in blue, (2) Time1, during FES-assisted walking = immediate effect in green, and (3) after 12-week FES-assisted training protocol, without stimulation (NoStim)= neurotherapeutic effect (Time2). The black traces are the joint angles from GDI worksheet normative dataset of typically developing subjects (TD). Gait phase is indicated by the vertical lines. LR, loading response, MSt, midstance, TSt, terminal stance, PSw, pre-swing, ISw, initial swing, MSw, midswing, TSw, terminal swing.

The secondary outcome measure was root mean square error (RMSE) between the participant's hip, knee, and ankle joint angles (in the sagittal plane, Figure 2) and the average joint angles of the aforementioned TDs in the sagittal plane were used for RMSE calculation (black trace, Figure 2). For simplicity, only the data from the more affected side was included in the visualization of the sagittal plane joint angles (Figure 2).
