Effects of Abdominal Electrical Stimulation on Balance and Ultrasound-Measured Muscle Thickness in Stroke Patients: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trials

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device, Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Stroke is a leading cause of balance impairment and trunk muscle weakness, which restricts independence in daily activities. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a safe rehabilitation method to activate muscles. This study will evaluate the effects of NMES applied to the abdominal muscles on balance and ultrasound-measured muscle thickness in stroke patients. The findings may provide evidence for new treatment strategies to enhance trunk function and improve quality of life after stroke.
