Does Sensory Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation Enhance Motor Recovery Following a Stroke? A Systematic Review

Somatosensory input may lead to long-lasting cortical plasticity enhanced by motor recovery in patients with neurological impairments. Sensory transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) is a relatively risk-free and easy-to-implement modality for rehabilitation.The authors systematically examine the effects of sensory TENS on motor recovery after stroke.Eligible randomized or quasi-randomized trials were identified via searches of computerized...
