Spinal Cord Stimulation for Poststroke Hemiparesis: A Scoping Review
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Results indicate that SCS may provide an alternative means to improve motor function in the poststroke population. Plain-Language Summary: The results of this study show that spinal cord stimulation may provide an alternative way to improve motor function after stroke. Previous neuromodulation methods have targeted the impaired supraspinal circuitry after stroke. Although downregulated, spinal cord circuitry is largely intact and offers new possibilities for motor recovery.PMID:38477681 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2024.050533
