Hybrid Assistive Neuromuscular Dynamic Stimulation Therapy: A New Strategy for Improving Upper Extremity Function in Patients with Hemiparesis following Stroke

<div>(a) Closed-loop electromyography- (EMG-) controlled neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). A pair of electrodes for EMG detection and stimulation are placed on the affected extensor digitorum communis muscle, and one electrode for stimulation is placed on the affected extensor indicis muscle. (b) Participants wear a wrist-hand splint and carry a closed-loop EMG-controlled NMES with arm holder for 8 hours during the daytime.</div>
