“…According to the series of cases studied, Faradic nerve stimulation can be offered to improve sensory and motor function of the bowel and bladder for children diagnosed with myelomeningocele, while NMES is also helpful in these children, as it is an approved tool for recruitment of new muscle fibers and strengthening of the muscles. 6 …”

This case study evaluated the effectiveness of using a combination of faradic and neuromuscular electrical stimulation to improve the sensory and motor function of the bladder/bowel in pediatric patients diagnosed with spina bifida with myelomeningocele. All five patients were pediatric cases aged 4–15 years (mean age 8.4 ± 4.3 years) with complete incontinence in both bladder and bowel functions and self-referred to the Leyaqa Physical Therapy Center in Qatif, Saudi Arabia. All patients had diminished sensation from the hips down and underwent 24 electrical stimulation sessions. Bladder and bowel control were improved by 40% and 20%, respectively. All participants had improved bladder sensation, and 80% had improved bowel sensation. All participants reported improvement in constipation. Feeling the urge or sensation of emptying the bladder or bowel was dramatically improved in all participants. This combination of stimulation electrotherapy can be offered with benefits according to the series of cases studied.

Background and Objective: Foot drop is a common complication of a stroke which can impede participation in rehabilitation and has been associated with poor outcomes. Gyroscope based functional electrical stimulation is one of the adjunct treatments of choice. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of Gyroscope based FES versus Ankle foot orthosis with Electrical stimulation for improving muscle performance and gait in post stroke subjects.  Methods: Quasi experimental study design. 112 subjects with mean age of 58 years having a clinical diagnosis of stroke were allocated into two groups by using convenience sampling method. In Group A (n=56) were treated with Gyroscope based Functional Electrical Stimulation along with Standard rehabilitation program, whereas in Group B (n=56) subjects were treated by Ankle foot orthosis with Electrical Stimulation along with standard rehabilitation program. Participants were given intervention for five times a week for 6 weeks. The universal goniometer, pheezee and Tug were used to assess the intervention effectiveness.  Results: Independent ‘‘t’’ test was used to compare the mean significance difference between continuous variables. Paired ‘‘t’’ test was used to assess the statistical significance difference between pre and post test scores. Statistical analysis of this data revealed that both groups showed significant improvement in parameters when compared within groups, where as in between groups comparison Gyroscope based functional electrical stimulation along with standard rehabilitation program showed better improvement compared to Ankle foot orthosis with Electrical stimulation along with standard rehabilitation program.  Conclusion: In six weeks of intervention, both groups were shown statistically significant improvement in post-test values. However Gyroscope based functional electrical stimulation along with standard rehabilitation program was more effective when compared to Ankle foot orthosis with Electrical stimulation along with standard rehabilitation program. Hence treatment intervention may be incorporated in management of post stroke.
