Use of Electrical Stimulation to Improve Arm Function in Chronic Stroke

Research Home | Lab Research Summary | People | Publications | Contact

The focus of our research has been to explore the impact of home-based electrical stimulation assisted exercise programs on arm movement, sensation and use in chronic stroke. We are also interested in determining the factors that may affect an individual’s compliance with exercising after stroke.

Current and past projects:

Examined the effect of applying electrical stimulation at a motor amplitude during the performance of task specific exercise.

Examined the effect of applying a concurrent intervention of electrical stimulation assisted task training and sensory amplitude electrical stimulation.

Examined the association between clinical measures of sensation, movement, and function and the perceptual threshold of electrical stimulation.

Explored barriers to and enabling factors of exercise compliance following stroke.
