Mesh-glove. 2. Modulation of residual upper limb motor control after stroke with whole-hand electric stimulation

M M Dimitrijević et al. Scand J Rehabil Med. 1994 Dec.

Abstract

The effects of whole-hand electrical stimulation via a wired mesh-glove upon the residual motor control of the upper extremity are described. Clinical observations were made in 2 patients with nonfunctional upper limbs, 4 and 2 years after stroke, who had been enrolled in the home mesh-glove program for 6 and 4 months, respectively. The stimulation paradigm is novel and the target of stimulation is the hand. Preliminary results indicate beneficial effects such as reduction in muscle hypertonia and facilitation of isolated hand movements.
