Abstract Introductin Improper gait patterns, impaired balance and foot drop consistently plague stroke survivors, preventing them from walking independently and safely. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) technology can help patients reactivate their muscles and regain motor coordination. This study aims to systematically review and summarize the evidence for the potential benefits of NMES on the improvement of gait patterns after stroke. Evidence acquisition PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Science Direct and Web of Science were systematically searched until April 2024, to identify randomized controlled trials with the following criteria: stroke survivors as participants; NMES as intervention; conventional rehabilitation as a comparator; and gait assessment, through scales or quantitative parameters, as outcome measures. Evidence synthesis 29 publications involving 1711 patients met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed no significant differences in Ten-meter walk test, Fugl-Meyer assessment lower extremity, Modified Ashworth Assessment and asymmetry between the NMES group and the control group. Besides, NMES was associated with changes in outcome indicators such as quantitative gait analysis speed [SMD = 0.53, 95% CI (0.20, 0.85), P = 0.001], cadence [SMD = 0.76, 95% CI (0.32, 1.20), P = 0.0008], affected side step length [SMD = 0.73, 95% CI (0.16, 1.31), P = 0.01], angle of ankle dorsiflexion [WMD = 1.57, 95% CI (0.80, 2.33), P |
