Ability of electrical stimulation therapy to improve the effectiveness of robotic training for paretic upper limbs in patients with stroke

Highlights • The effect of robot-aided training combined with NMES on the hemiparetic upper limbs after stroke was investigated. • The robot training with NMES group showed significant improvement in active ROM compared with robot only training group. • The robot-aided training with NMES was more ef...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The effect of robot-aided training combined with NMES on the hemiparetic upper limbs after stroke was investigated. • The robot training with NMES group showed significant improvement in active ROM compared with robot only training group. • The robot-aided training with NMES was more effective for recovery from hemiparesis than robot only training.
