Abstract
Objective: To test the hypothesis that peripheral nerve stimulation associated with motor training of the paretic hand will enhance motor learning of a functional task (Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test [JTHFT]) relative to training with no-stimulation (no-stim) in chronic stroke patients. Design: Single-blind, counterbalanced, crossover. Setting: Laboratory. Participants: 9 chronic subcortical stroke patients (mean time since stroke ± SD, 3.2±1.6y; age range, 35–73y; 55.2±14.3y). Interventions: JTHFT training while under the effects of a 2-hour period of peripheral nerve stimulation or no-stim on the paretic hand.
