A functional electrical stimulation system for controlling the movement of a portion of a body of a subject, such as the subject's legs. The system comprises a sensor that in one arrangement is mountable to a portion of the subjects' body other than the legs, for example the torso. In another arrangement, the sensor can be mountable to a walking aid, such as a crutch. The sensor outputs signals representative of the position and/or movement of the torso or walking aid. The system also comprises a control means that receives and processes the signals output by the sensor and outputs control signals to a stimulator adapted to provide electrical stimulation to the legs via electrodes in response to the position and/or movement of the torso or walking aid as determined by the sensor.
