Tue 14th Jun, 2011
This paper describes the pilot study for the REAcH stimulator. 15 people who had chronic stroke used a two channel stimulator for hand opening and elbow extension triggered by movement of the arm. There was a significant improvement in hand function over the 12 week treatment period and the improvement was maintained 12 weeks after the treatment ended.
