Effects of contralaterally controlled neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the connectivity pattern of poststroke patients with hemiplegia by ZHU Lan, SUI Youxin, WANG Qinglei, XU Sheng, SHEN Ying, GUO Chuan

“…The differences in overall FC strength and mean FC strength based on ROI level between the two groups were analyzed.ResultsCompared with the NMES group，the overall connectivity strength of brain regions was higher in the CCNMES group，and CCNMES could enhance the functional connectivity between the affected M1 and the healthy M1 in patients with upper limb hemiparesis in stroke，as well as enhance the functional connectivity between the affected PFC and the healthy M1 and S1，respectively，and the difference was significant （<italic>P</italic>&lt;0. 05）.ConclusionCCNMES triggers sensorimotor stimulation of the affected upper limb by active movement of the healthy upper limb and induces cortical functional reorganisation in stroke patients with hemiplegia.…”
