Gad Alon, Alan F. Levitt and Patricia A. McCarthy (2007) Objective. To test if functional electrical stimulation (FES) can enhance the recovery of upper extremity function during early stroke rehabilitation. Conclusion. Upper extremity task-oriented training that begins soon after stroke that incorporates FES may improve upper extremity functional use in patients with mild/moderate paresis more than task-oriented training without FES.

Yang Zhao, Chi-Chiu Ma, Lai-HoWong, GuanHua Chen, ZhiPing Xu, QuanShui Zheng, Qing Jiang and Allen T Chwang (2006) A transition from frictional behaviour to nearly frictionless sliding would occur as the size of the system decreases beyond a critical value. This opens up the possibility of nearly frictionless and superefficient nanoscale molecular oscillators with practically no dissipation of the oscillator energies for a prolonged period of time.

James Cauraugh, PhD; Kathye Light, PhD, PT; Sangbum Kim, MS; Mary Thigpen, PT, MHS; Andrea Behrman, PhD, PT (2000) After stroke, many individuals have chronic unilateral motor dysfunction in the upper extremity that severely limits their functional movement control. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of electromyography-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the wrist and finger extension muscles in individuals who had a stroke. Two lines of evidence clearly support the use of the electromyography-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation treatment to rehabilitate wrist and finger extension movements of hemiparetic individuals 􏰀1 year after stroke. The treatment program decreased motor dysfunction and improved the motor capabilities in this group of poststroke individuals
