Research Reveals EMS Benefits for Arm Motor Recovery After Stroke

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

In this rigorous systematic review, experts from leading Dutch rehabilitation centres analysed six high-quality randomised controlled trials on EMS for the upper arm after stroke. They searched major medical databases, selected only proper studies, and had two independent researchers assess methodological quality using strict criteria. Four trials showed meaningful gains in motor control, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to large. The evidence suggests EMS may help stroke survivors improve voluntary arm movement, particularly those with some remaining function. Published in a respected peer-reviewed journal, this work by trusted scientists offers credible hope. Read the full post to see exactly what the studies revealed and what it could mean for recovery.   https://oriems.fit/blogs/research-digest/how-ems-can-support-arm-recovery-after-stroke
