  • Although NMES is used for muscle re-education, it is also an effective way to reduce spasticity prior to therapy or fitting a hand splint.

    Extensor Carpi ulnaris is padded. Because the pad is too wide, the adjacent extensor digitorum muscle is also covered by the pad, so both moves at the same time. The problem of muscle adhesion cannot be addressed because the muscle moves at the same time. Based on my experience as a 4-year ischemic stroke survivor, I cut the TENS pad by 1.5 inches so that the target muscle can be isolated and it can glide over the adjoining fascia tissues or muscles.

    Shouldn't the cathode (black) be the more proximal one?

    • @StrokeSciences
      @StrokeSciences  5 лет назад +6

      Good observation. With the conventional electrode placement, the tonicity in index and thumb would increase. By placing the cathode more distally we could achieve a better range and less hypertonicity in the thumb and index would occur. I suspect, placing the cathode more distally could stimulate the deeper situated extensors (polilcis brevis/longus and the indicis). The main objective is to stimulate the nerve supplying the motor units (in this case the radial nerve) and the muscle groups using separate electrodes.

      Botox (a few years) & Bacolofen (last several years). Does not work, in the long term.
      Severe Traumatic Brain Injury, car accident, 39 years ago, when my body was 34 years old.
      Alibaba is delivering EMS machine similar to the one in this video. Models can be as low as $20 USD.
      Video shows the older slide in adhesive pad. Since I have only my right hand working, my order is for the press-stud adhesive pad. These are lower cost, easier to store than the older slide in pads, which require two hands to attach.

      No she did not. Spasticity is a chronic and persistent issue after stroke, but using NMES can reduce contractures and atrophy, also could help with re-learning process.

      most of the time there would also be muscle relaxants being utilized by the patients to help with the tight muscle tone in the affected limbs of patients such as baclofen or tinzanadine with mixed results being shown using pharmacology in treatment of limb spasticity!!

    If endogenous neural stem cells (NSCs) can't be triggered for regeneration,
    all physical rehabilitation seems to be of little help. Central nervous system
    definitely has enough endogenous adult stem cells for repair of damaged
    nerves and neurons.
    God's mercy nano-medication should be the last-ditch treatment for
    stroke and can cure stroke.
    All glory belongs to God !
