Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Enhances Cerebral Oxygenation in Subacute Stroke: Insights Using functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy from the RETRAIN Phase 1 Study
2025-05-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), such as the geko™ device, may enhance cerebral perfusion post-stroke by improving venous return. This study evaluated the cortical haemodynamic effects of NMES in subacute stroke survivors using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). <h4>Methods</h4> A prospective observational st...
