A novel therapy has been devised for survivors of stroke with hand weakness to help improve hand function through the use of a glove that delivers electrical stimulation. Hand functionality was ...

Contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation (CCFES) was associated with greater reduction in upper extremity impairment compared with conventional cyclic neuromuscular electrical ...

Adding transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) after stroke offered no additional benefit in improving upper extremity function, new research ...

All participants undergo a baseline assessment on day 1; in the EES+PT group, an epidural electrode is implanted on day 2, stimulation programs are initiated on postoperative day 1 and iteratively ...

Bottom line: This study found that, in rats, acute nerve injuries that may recover can be distinguished from those that are unlikely to recover based on the response to intraoperative electrical nerve ...
