  • Title: Mesh-glove. 2. Modulation of residual upper limb motor control after stroke with whole-hand electric stimulation.
    Author: Dimitrijević MM, Soroker N.
    Journal: Scand J Rehabil Med; 1994 Dec; 26(4):187-90. PubMed ID: 7878392.
    Abstract:
    The effects of whole-hand electrical stimulation via a wired mesh-glove upon the residual motor control of the upper extremity are described. Clinical observations were made in 2 patients with nonfunctional upper limbs, 4 and 2 years after stroke, who had been enrolled in the home mesh-glove program for 6 and 4 months, respectively. The stimulation paradigm is novel and the target of stimulation is the hand. Preliminary results indicate beneficial effects such as reduction in muscle hypertonia and facilitation of isolated hand movements.
