Does EMS Reduce Shoulder Subluxation After Stroke? What a Meta-Analysis Shows

from Health Research Digest with Leo and Eva · host Leo and Eva

A 2017 meta-analysis in the prestigious journal Clinical Rehabilitation examined 11 randomised trials involving 432 people. Scientists measured shoulder subluxation precisely with X-rays in millimetres. They found EMS produced a large reduction (SMD –1.11) in acute and subacute stroke patients. Both short and long daily sessions worked. Led by researchers from the top-ranked University of Southern California and Korean universities, the evidence is solid and peer-reviewed. These results suggest EMS may help reduce joint separation early after stroke. Want the full story, exact numbers, and practical takeaways?
