Patients' experiences of self-administered electrotherapy for spasticity in stroke and cerebral palsy: A qualitative study
Conclusion: The qualitative approach used in this study elicited complementary information that was not evident from the previous RCT. This included statements regarding increased mobility, reduced spasticity, reduced use of medication, and problems related to using the treatment concept.PMID:34935050 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v53.1131

BCI-activated electrical stimulation in children with perinatal stroke and hemiparesis: A pilot study
ConclusionBrain computer interface-FES was well -tolerated and feasible in children with hemiparesis. This paves the way for clinical trials to optimize approaches and test efficacy.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Children With Stroke
Research into neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for children with cerebral palsy and children post-stroke is limited. However, a recent review suggests that evidence for NMES is sufficient for improvement of gait and muscle strength as well as hand function and walking speed when combined with botulinum toxin and task-specific training.1 NMES is also referred to as electrical stimulation (eStim), functional electrical stimulation (FES), or muscle stimulation.

Robot-Assisted Therapy in Upper Extremity Hemiparesis: Overview of an Evidence-Based Approach
Conclusion Robotic therapy has matured and represents an embodiment of a paradigm shift in neurorehabilitation following a stroke: instead of focusing on compensation, it affords focus in ameliorating the impaired limb in line with concepts of neuroplasticity. This technology-based treatment provides intensity, interactivity, flexibility, and adaptiveness to patient's performance and needs. Furthermore, it increases the productivity of rehabilitation care. Of course, efficiency must be discussed within a local perspective. For example, following the cost containment shown in the VA ROBOTICS study (46), the UK Nati...

Influence of Combined Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Motor Training on Corticospinal Excitability in Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy
Conclusion This proof-of-principle study evaluated the influence of cathodal contralesional tDCS on corticospinal excitability in pediatric participants with UCP. A hypothesized decrease in contralesional excitability was noted in participants in the Active+CIMT group, however, the efficacy of tDCS to modulate corticospinal excitability was not statistically different than the Sham+CIMT group. A more detailed understanding of how tDCS impacts M1 neurophysiology will be essential to inform future clinical trials on the optimal dosing parameters, based on individual brain circuitry, to explore the potential functional benef...
