Improved Functional Outcome After Peripheral Nerve Stimulation of the Impaired Forelimb Post-stroke

Improved Functional Outcome After Peripheral Nerve Stimulation of the Impaired Forelimb Post-stroke

Lack of blood flow to the brain, i.e., ischemic stroke, results in loss of nerve cells and therefore loss of function in the effected brain regions. There is no effective treatment to improve lost function except restoring blood flow within the first several hours. Rehabilitation strategies are wide...
