POST STROKE APPLICATION
Electrical Stimulation has been widely used in post-stroke rehabilitation. In a randomised study of hemiparetic stroke patients, functional recovery was notably better in those who received additional Electrical Stimulation, than in control patients. (*30)
In many cases, stimulation using alternating channels has been effective as the application of electrodes on agonist and antagonist muscles mimics everyday movement and reduces spasticity. By recreating proper patterns of walking and manipulative activity, motor recovery has been accelerated. Consecutive alternate stimulation of the muscles that take part in the movement may improve spasticity levels. (*31)
