Study tests neuromuscular electrostimulation effects on hand motor recovery in older stroke patients
The University of Valencia (UV), in collaboration with FISABIO and the Doctor Peset University Hospital, has conducted a randomised clinical trial comparing the effects of two neuromuscular electrostimulation (EENM) protocols with different frequencies on the motor impairment of the hand in older patients after a stroke. The study looked at whether changes in hand deficits - such as strength or muscle tone - were related to patients day-to-day functionality.
Hand affectation is one of the most persistent consequences in stroke patients and is associated with a loss of upper limb functionality and impact on the autonomy of people who suffer from it. Different studies have measured functionality after applying these techniques, while others have studied what deficits improved after using treatments, but very few have observed what happens when relating two variables. ....
