The effect of surface neuromuscular electrical stimulation on patients with post-stroke dysphagia.
CONCLUSIONS: Swallowing function in the patients with PSD was significantly improved using TDT combined with NMES. Stimulating electrodes placed at the suprahyoid region or on both suprahyoid and infrahyoid regions resulted in no difference of effect. However, NMES on suprahyoid region could further improve the moving distance of hyoid bone anteriorly. PMID: 29278871 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Myoelectric Elbow-Wrist-Hand Orthosis for an Adolescent with Hemiparesis: A Case Report
Discussion This case report presents insights on why the patient was not as proficient and interested in using the orthosis at home and school. Recommendations to address these issues include peer modeling, community outings, early intervention, and the use of family-centered approaches. Future studies are also suggested to further understand MEWHO use and the considerations for successful orthotic management in this group of patients.
