Effect of Combining Task-oriented Training and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation of Abdominal Muscles to Improve the Basic ADL Performance of a Patient with Bilateral Hemiplegia due to Recurrent Cerebrovascular Events: A Case Study
Abstract:Purpose] We confirmed the effect to combining task-oriented training (TOT) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) of abdominal muscles to improve trunk function and basic ADL performance (rolling in and rising from bed).
