FES IN HEMIPLEGIA

[faizal1975]

IS THERE ANY ONE INTERESTED IN TALKING ABOUT FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION IN HEMIPLEGIA. IS THERE ANY PHYSIO PROGRAMME THAT IS USING IT AS A ROUTINE. THERE HAS BEEN WIDER RESEARCH IN THIS FIELD ESPECIALLY PERTAINING TO SHOULDER AND PROVEN TO HAVE SOME EFFECTS OVER REDUCING THE PAIN AND SUBLUXATION AND THOUGHT TO AID IN RECOVERY OF MOTOR
FUNCTION
Wang RY. Chan RC. Tsai MW.Wang RY. Chan RC. Tsai MW (2000)FUNCTIONAL electrical stimulation on chronic and acute hemiplegic shoulder subluxation.
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. 79(4):385-90; quiz 391-4, 2000.

1. Price CI. Pandyan AD(2000): Electrical stimulation for preventing and treating post-stroke shoulder pain. [Review] Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews .Functional electrical stimulation on chronic and acute hemiplegic shoulder subluxation.

IF SO WHY IS IT NOT BEING USED AS A ROUTINE IN HEMIPLEGIC SHOULDER DYSFUNCTION.
WHAT IS THE POTENTIAL HURDLE THAT IS FACED IN IMPLEMENTING THIS PROGRAM AS A ROUTINE?
FOLKS. CAN COME OUT WITH GREAT QUESTIONS AND IDEAS.
