“…Among the various available methods that can increase the weight load on the hemiplegic side when patients perform the exercises independently, FES has recently been used in several studies. Bustamante et al [22] reported that in addition to the previously recognized effectiveness of FES therapy in improving muscle strength of the leg on the hemiplegic side, it facilitated the perceptive development on the hemiplegic side by enhancing both the feedback of the sensory nerve and proprioceptive senses, ultimately increasing the use of the hemiplegic side. In addition, Chen et al [33] demonstrated that performing standing rehabilitation exercise and gait rehabilitation exercise while wearing a device for FES therapy not only resulted in better functional improvement but also induced more activity than conventional rehabilitation therapy, as detected on brain diffusion tensor image.…”

“…FES is a widely used treatment method with proven effective rehabilitation therapy for improving the standing ability of stroke patients by improving muscle strengthening on their hemiplegic leg [20,21]. Furthermore, it was found to help sensory recovery and body perception on the hemiplegic side through a sensory feedback mechanism [22,23].…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of combination functional electrical stimulation (FES) and standing frame training on standing balance in stroke patients.MethodsPatients who had hemiparesis and postural instability after stroke were randomly assigned to one of the two groups; study group underwent FES on the quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscle simultaneously with standing balance training. The control group received standing frame training and FES separately. Both the groups received their respective therapies for 3 weeks. Stability index in Biodex Balance master system, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), manual muscle test, the Korean version of Modified Barthel Index, and Korean version of Mini-Mental State Examination were used to evaluate the effects of the treatment.ResultsIn total, 30 patients were recruited to the study group and 30 to the control group. Three weeks after treatment, both the groups showed improvement in postural stability scores and physical and cognitive functions. When changes in postural stability were compared between the groups, the study group showed more significant improvement than the control group with regards to the scores of BBS and the stability indices.ConclusionIn this study, we found the therapeutic effectiveness of combined therapy of FES and standing frame in subacute stroke patients. The presented protocol is proposed as time-saving and can be applied easily in the clinical setting. Thus, the proposed combined therapy could be a useful method for improving standing balance in subacute stroke patients.

“…The inactivity-related VML, as in subjects suffering from SCI, might take advantage of physical exercise, isometric or cycle-ergometry functional electrical stimulation (FES), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), treadmill step-trained (Stp-T) or stand-trained (Std-T), body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT), spinal magnetic stimulation, acrobatic exercises, testosterone replacement therapy, exoskeletal body-powered gait orthosis (EBPGO), and epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS) (Bustamante et al, 2016;Choi et al, 2020;Durán et al, 2001;Gao et al, 2017;Maher et al, 2017;Marquez-Chin & Popovic, 2020;McHugh et al, 2021;Mehrholz et al, 2017;Nightingale et al, 2018). The physical exercise efficacy seems to be related to its action on skeletal muscle tissue structure and neuroplasticity by the motor cortex activation (Fu et al, 2016;Jurkiewicz et al, 2007), and may result in resistance and cardiopulmonary conditioning improvement due to its neuroprotective and regenerative properties in people with SCI (Durán et al, 2001).…”

BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to spinal nerve fiber tract damage resulting in functional impairments. Volumetric muscle loss (VML), a skeletal muscle volume abnormal reduction, is represented by atrophy below the injury level. The strategies for VML management included personalized approaches, and no definite indications are available. OBJECTIVE: To identify the rehabilitation effects of VML in subjects with SCI (humans and animals). METHODS: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched to identify longitudinal observational studies with individuals affected by traumatic SCI as participants; rehabilitation treatment as intervention; no control, sham treatment, and electrical stimulation programs as control; total lean body and lower limb lean mass, cross-sectional area, functional gait recovery, muscle thickness, and ultrasound intensity, as outcome. RESULTS: Twenty-four longitudinal observational studies were included, evaluating different rehabilitation approaches’ effects on the VML reduction in subjects affected by SCI. The data showed that electrical stimulation and treadmill training are effective in reducing the VML in this population. CONCLUSION: This systematic review underlines the need to treat subjects with traumatic SCI (humans and animals) with different rehabilitation approaches to prevent VML in the subacute and chronic phases. Further clinical observations are needed to overcome the bias and to define the intervention’s timing and modalities.

“…In MP-EMG ES, minute electrical signals are produced in the paretic upper extremity only through motor imagery without any actual movement of the upper extremity, and the EMG built into the instrument detects this and then provides electrical stimulation to the paretic upper extremity 1 ) . In other words, this treatment presents a new method combining mental practice and electrical stimulation, which have already been proven to be effective when applied separately 3 , 4 ) . However, in the previous study, evidence of the combined treatment’s effect on upper extremity function in patients following stroke remained unclear.…”

[Purpose] To investigate the effect of mental practice combined with electromyogram-triggered electrical stimulation (MP-EMG ES) on the upper extremity of stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Participants were randomly assigned to experimental group or control group. The experimental group received MP-EMG ES plus conventional rehabilitation therapy for 5 days per week for 4 weeks. The control group received only conventional rehabilitation therapy. Outcome measure included the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Motor Activity Log (MAL). [Results] Experimental group showed more improved in the FMA, MAL-AOU, MAL-QOM compared with the control group. [Conclusion] These results suggest that MP-EMG ES improves the upper extremity of subacute stroke patients better than conventional rehabilitation therapy alone.
