Influence of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on spasticity, balance, and walking speed in stroke patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is associated with significantly reduced spasticity, increased static balance and walking speed, but has no influence on dynamic balance.

“…Electrical stimulation has been studied previously for stroke rehabilitation whereby FES was applied during the swing phase of walking to activate nerves that stimulate the lower extremity affected by stroke [12][13][14][15][16]. Many previous studies have observed the positive effect of FES on the gait ability of stroke patients [15,16,26].…”

“…Balance is defined as being able to hold the body center of gravity within the center of support [ 26 ]. In order to maintain balance visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems play a crucial role, and these systems are affected by many factors [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. The proprioceptive system consists of the Golgi tendon organ, the muscle spindle, the Pacini corpuscle, free nerve endings, and the receptors in the joint capsules and skin [ 32 , 33 , 34 ].…”

“…Indeed, cardiovascular and ventilation rehabilitation protocols for surgical patients are well established and a major component of these is designed to reverse muscle atrophy and weakness [8,9]. Although the balance between cost (time/capital investment/interference with daily living) and long-term benefits is still debated [10,11], many practitioners and institutions recognize the value of electrical stimulation in their daily clinical practice [12][13][14][15].…”
