TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Electrical Stimulation in Patients with Neurological Diagnoses A1 - Johnston, Therese E. A2 - Bellew, James W. A2 - Nolan, Thomas P. PY - 2022 T2 - Michlovitz’s Modalities for Therapeutic Intervention, 7e AB - Patients with neurological diagnoses often have impairments of body functions/structure and limitations in activity and participation that may be addressed through the use of electrical stimulation (ES). For example, a person who has sustained a stroke may have decreased strength, motor control, and passive range of motion (PROM); compromised balance; and spasticity, which then contribute to limitations in walking and participating in community activities. Mobility and activities of daily living (ADLs) are often compromised, so important components of rehabilitation are to improve these important activities and allow for greater independence and participation. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and functional electrical stimulation (FES) may be used clinically to address some of these areas. NMES is defined as the use of ES to activate muscles through stimulation of intact peripheral motor nerves, and FES is the use of NMES to promote functional activities.1 SN - PB - F. A.
