Dose-response relation between neuromuscular electrical stimulation and upper-extremity function in patients with stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of our study was to investigate the effects of different doses of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on upper-extremity function in acute stroke patients with severe motor deficit. METHODS Sixty-six acute stroke patients were randomized to 3 groups: high NMES, low NMES, or control. The low-NMES group received 30 minutes of stimulation per day, and t...
متن کاملExploring Selective Neural Electrical Stimulation for Upper Limb Function Restoration
This article introduces a new approach of selective neural electrical stimulation of the upper limb nerves. Median and radial nerves of individuals with tetraplegia are stimulated via a multipolar cuff electrode to elicit movements of wrist and hand in acute conditions during a surgical intervention. Various configurations corresponding to various combinations of a 12-poles cuff electrode conta...
متن کاملA pilot study to measure upper extremity H-reflexes following neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy after stroke.
Upper extremity (UE) hemiparesis persists after stroke, limiting hand function. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an effective intervention to improve UE recovery, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Our objective was to establish a reliable protocol to measure UE agonist-antagonist forearm monosynaptic reflexes in a pilot study to determine if NMES improve...
متن کاملNeuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Skeletal Muscle Function
Lack of neural innervation due to neurological damage renders muscle unable to produce force. Use of electrical stimulation is a medium in which investigators have tried to find a way to restore movement and the ability to perform activities of daily living. Different methods of applying electrical current to modify neuromuscular activity are electrical stimulation (ES), neuromuscular electrica...
متن کاملNeuromuscular electrical stimulation for motor restoration in hemiparesis.
This article assesses the clinical efficacy of established neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) technologies for motor restoration in hemiparesis and provides an overview of evolving technologies. Transcutaneous NMES facilitates motor recovery. However, its impact on physical disability remains uncertain. Transcutaneous NMES also decreases shoulder subluxation, but its effect on shoulder...
