Of nine hemiplegic patients having foot-drop who were test-treated with the Philips functional electronic peroneal stimulator, only three who tolerated continued use of the stimulator for five weeks had improvement in function. Findings in these cases indicate that to be selected for trial use of a stimulator a hemiplegic patient should fulfill the following criteria: (1) be in the hospital, (2) be ambulant with or without a cane and/or short leg brace, (3) have no severe contracture of the ankle joint, (4) have no severe spasticity, (5) have no obvious lower motor neuron lesions, (6) be cooperative and intelligent, (7) have no severe manual difficulty (he should be able to put on the stimulator without assistance), and (8) be able to tolerate the discomfort from the stimulation.
在9名患有足下垂的偏瘫患者中，使用飞利浦功能性电子腓骨刺激器进行试验性治疗，只有3名能够耐受并持续使用该刺激器达5周的患者功能得到改善。这些病例的研究结果表明，偏瘫患者若要被选作刺激器的试用对象，应符合以下标准：（1）住院；（2）能独立行走，无论是否使用拐杖和/或短腿支具；（3）无严重踝关节挛缩；（4）无严重痉挛；（5）无明显下运动神经元病变；（6）合作且智力正常；（7）无严重手部功能障碍（应能在无协助的情况下佩戴刺激器）；（8）能耐受刺激带来的不适。
