Improvement and Neuroplasticity after Combined Rehabilitation to Forced Grasping

Figure 4

Effect of continuous electrical stimulation on the patient’s ability to carry 5 pegs. The electrodes were attached to the extensor side of the forearm. The patient was instructed to carry each peg from one dish to another dish. The length of time required to carry the 5 pegs improved from 19.4 s without continuous electrical stimulation to 14.5 s with continuous electrical stimulation.
