Vagus Nerve Stimulation Paired with Mobility Training in Chronic Ischemic Stroke: A Case Report

CONCLUSION: The participant demonstrated improved gait speed and timed distance after VNS-paired mobility training. Randomized, blinded trials are needed to determine treatment efficacy.IMPACT: This is the first documented case of VNS-paired mobility training in an individual with chronic poststroke gait impairments. VNS paired with mobility training may improve poststroke gait impairments.PMID:37669130 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad097
