Neuromuscular electrical stimulation for the post-stroke upper limb can reduce spasticity and muscle atrophy, and improve joint range and corticospinal system excitability. It's recommended in UK National Guidelines but not provided by NHS - why do patients have to buy their own £120 device?

Kings College trials stimulation therapy for stroke patients King's College Hospital is testing a device that sends electrical signals around the body.

It's great that stroke recovery is getting in the news www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... It does speak to our need to believe in the 'new' though. VNS targets those who should respond well to intensive standard movement training anyway. The science should maybe focus on those without finger movement?

Prediction of Upper Limb Motor Recovery by the PREP2 Algorithm in a Nonselected Population: External Validation and Influence of Cognitive Syndromes - PubMed Our study provides an external validation of the PREP2 algorithm in a prospective population and underlines the importance of taking into account cognitive syndromes in motor recovery prediction.

The accuracy of PREP2 in predicting upper limb motor recovery decreased significantly when patients had cognitive disorders (MoCA score <24) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39162251/

CNR is excited to announce our next Research Networking Event on Thursday 16th January 2025.
