“…Specific treatments such as FES were not always available and while acknowledged as not being suitable for everyone, people with HSP felt they wanted better access and availability. This finding is in line with the views of people with other neurological conditions [30].…”

Rehabilitation and support for self-management is valued by those affected with HSP throughout the disease trajectory from diagnosis onwards. Key to this is the development of a partnership approach which includes carers. Single point, well-informed, gatekeepers may enhance the coordination and delivery of care in rural areas. These findings underline current guidance promoting a holistic approach for people with neurological conditions.

“…The stimulus supporting devices contain FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation), rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulation), and tDCS (transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) (Wilkie et al , 2012; Kondo et al , 2012; Bastani and Jaberzadeh, 2012; Khodaparast et al , 2013). The FES devices facilitate motor ability and decrease activity limitation caused by stroke.…”

Stroke is deemed a worldwide leading cause of neurological disability and death, however, there is currently no promising pharmacotherapy for acute ischemic stroke aside from intravenous or intra-arterial thrombolysis. Yet because of the narrow therapeutic time window involved, thrombolytic application is very restricted in clinical settings. Accumulating data suggest that non-pharmaceutical therapies for stroke might provide new opportunities for stroke treatment. Here we review recent research progress in the mechanisms and clinical implications of non-pharmaceutical therapies, mainly including neuroprotective approaches such as hypothermia, ischemic/hypoxic conditioning, acupuncture, medical gases, transcranial laser therapy, etc. In addition, we briefly summarize mechanical endovascular recanalization devices and recovery devices for the treatment of the chronic phase of stroke and discuss the relative merits of these devices.

“…Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a means of providing movement in paralysed muscles to assist with practical activities. FES has been shown to be a practical intervention for the correction of dropped foot, increasing walking speed (1,2,3,4), reducing the effort of walking (5,6) and incidence of falls (7), to have a positive impact on activities of daily living (7,8,9) and on quality of life (10,11). Additionally the technique has also been shown to have a training effect on walking speed in stroke and other non-progressive neurological conditions (3,12,13).…”
