Electrical Stimulation for Upper Limb Recovery in Stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating NMES device with EMG-triggered and Cyclic capabilities for Stroke, Acute and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 122 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
Stroke is the leading cause of activity limitation among older adults in the United States. NeuroMuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) can assist stroke survivors in regaining motor ability and decreasing activity limitation caused by stroke. This study will research the effects of two types of NMES on reducing motor impairment and activity limitation.

Timeline
Interventions
All groups will use the NeuroMove NM900 stimulator. Subjects will use the stimulator as described for their group (treatment arm) for two 40-minute sessions per day, 5 days per week for 8 weeks. Surface electrodes for all three groups will be placed over the affected EDC and ECR (finger and wrist extensor) muscles.
