Effects of mental imagery training combined electromyogram-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation on upper limb function and activities of daily living in patients with chronic stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: These results indicated that both mental imagery training combined with electromyogram-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation and electromyogram-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation are beneficial to improve the upper limb function and activities of daily living of patients with chronic stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation Mental imagery training combined with electromyogram-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation might be helpful in improving upper limb function of patients with chronic stroke Improvement of upper limb function induced by mental imagery training combined with electromyogram-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation might increase independence in activities of daily living of patients with chronic stroke.
