“…There is evidence of short-term increases in motor strength and motor control and a reduction in impairment severity, but there is no evidence of an increase in the patient's level of function. [67][68][69] It is recommended that FES be used for patients who have demonstrated ankle/knee/ wrist motor impairment, for patients who have shoulder subluxation, and for gait training after stroke (Evidence LevelϭB).…”

Background-A panel of experts developed stroke rehabilitation guidelines for the Veterans Health Administration andDepartment of Defense Medical Systems. Methods-Starting from previously established guidelines, the panel evaluated published literature through 2002, using criteria developed by the US Preventive Services Task Force. Recommendations were based on evidence from randomized clinical trials, uncontrolled studies, or consensus expert opinion if definitive data were lacking. Results-Recommendations with Level I evidence include the delivery of poststroke care in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation setting or stroke unit, early patient assessment via the NIH Stroke Scale, early initiation of rehabilitation therapies, swallow screening testing for dysphagia, an active secondary stroke prevention program, and proactive prevention of venous thrombi. Standardized assessment tools should be used to develop a comprehensive treatment plan appropriate to each patient's deficits and needs. Medical therapy for depression or emotional lability is strongly recommended. A speech and language pathologist should evaluate communication and related cognitive disorders and provide treatment when indicated. The patient, caregiver, and family are essential members of the rehabilitation team and should be involved in all phases of the rehabilitation process. These recommendations are available in their entirety at http://stroke.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/36/9/e100. Evidence tables for each of the recommendations are also in the full document. Conclusions-These recommendations should be equally applicable to stroke patients receiving rehabilitation in all medical system settings and are not based on clinical problems or resources unique to the Federal Medical System.

“…For instance the system developed by Bernabucci, Conforto et al (2007) can be adapted to FES and could enhance paretic patients' capacity to control their arm movements with reduced effort during therapy. Encouraging results achieved in overcoming simple functional limb substitution (Liberson et al, 1961) and successful therapy both in lower (Bogataj et al, 1995) and in upper limb movements (Wang et al, 2002) have recently led to the development of FES-assisted rehabilitation programs for hemiplegic patients (Gritsenko & Prochazka 2004;Goffredo et al, 2008). Restoration of upper limb movements in post stroke patients is one of the keystones of rehabilitative practices.…”

“…The second type encompasses various forms of biofeedback with the aim of coupling afferent feedback during ES induced contractions with cognitive intent to further enhance motor learning. Randomised clinical trials (RCTs) have assessed the efficacy of lower extremity applications (Merletti et al 1978;Winchester et al 1983;Cozean et al 1988;Levin et al 1992;Bogataj et al 1995) and upper extremity applications of ES (Kraft et al 1992, Francisco et al 1998, Chae et al 1998, Powell et al 1999, Sonde et al 2000and Cauraugh et al 2000 in enhancing motor recovery following stroke. The effect of upper limb applications will be discussed in this review.…”

The use of electrical stimulation to promote recovery follow-ing pathological disorders dates back to the first discovery of electricalcurrent. However, the evidence for its use for promoting recovery following stroke is not well understood. Different types of research have been undertaken to investigate its effect on stroke recovery with different outcomes. This review is an attempt to highlight what is currently known about the effect of electrical stimulation on motor function recovery after stroke and to point out the areas needing research clarification.

The Rehabilitation of Gait in Patients With Hemiplegia: A Comparison Between Conventional Therapy and Multichannel Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy

Abstract: The superiority of the MFES method as compared with conventional therapy was mainly attributed to the enhanced motor learning accomplished by application of MFES. These results, however, are preliminary, and further research is needed.
