Motor recovery after stroke is related to neural plasticity, which involves developing new
neuronal interconnections, acquiring new functions, and compensating for impairment …

Rehabilitation after hemiplegic stroke has typically relied on the training of patients in
compensatory strategies. The translation of neuroscientific research into care has led to new …

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical uses of neuromuscular
electrical stimulation (NMES) for functional and therapeutic applications in subjects with …

Motor impairment is common after stroke and directly impacts the stroke survivor's function
and quality of life. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may reduce disability by …

Objective: Electrical stimulation can be applied in a variety of ways to the hemiparetic upper
extremity following stroke. The aim of this review is to explore the relationship between …

Objective. The aim of this study was to establish the efficacy of a therapeutic intervention
based on functional electrical stimulation (FES) therapy to improve reaching and grasping …

Objective. To test if functional electrical stimulation (FES) can enhance the recovery of upper
extremity function during early stroke rehabilitation. Methods. Open-label block-randomized …

Background Loss of arm-hand performance due to a hemiparesis as a result of stroke or
cerebral palsy (CP), leads to large problems in daily life of these patients. Assessment of …

Clinical applications of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in stroke rehabilitation
provide both therapeutic and functional benefits. Therapeutic applications include upper and …

Design: Controlled study, patients clinically stratified to 2 groups; no active finger movement
(10), and partial active finger movements (12), and then randomized to control and …
