Nerve Stimulation Enhances Task-Oriented Training for Moderate-to-Severe Hemiparesis 3–12 Months After Stroke: A Randomized Trial

Conclusions Somatosensory stimulation can improve objective outcomes of motor training for moderate-to-severe hemiparesis less than 12 mos after stroke, although it needs to be determined whether the magnitude of between-groups differences in this study is clinically relevant. Future studies should investigate the intervention's impact on disability and functional recovery for this population as well as neurophysiological mechanisms underlying intervention effects.
