Abstract：A varus dropped foot, one of the most common deformities of hemiplegic lower limb in stroke patients, significantly affected the ability of ambulation. Electric stimulation therapy was one of mostly used techniques for this problem. This paper focused on the applica-tion of low frequency electric stimulation in the treatment of the varus dropped foot in stroke patients, analyzed the clinical efficacy and ad-vantage of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and functional electrical stimulation, and the discussion of their mechanism.
