Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Improves Severe Hand Dysfunction for Individuals With Chronic Stroke: A Pilot Study

Restoring hand function is difficult post-stroke. We sought to determine if applying neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) was beneficial for reducing severe hand impairments. Subjects with chronic stroke (N=8; 3 Fe, 5 M; 58.3 ± 6.9 y/o) received 10 sessions of NMES using two different methods...
