NCT02152813 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 80

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This proposed study aims to compare the effects of unilateral and bilateral transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). It will compare the effectiveness of bilateral TENS + task-oriented training (TOT) with unilateral TENS+TOTin improving muscle strength, co-ordination, dynamic standing balance, walking performance, and functional mobility in patients with chronic stroke.

The null hypothesis will be that bilateral TENS+TOT and unilateral TENS+TOT are not significantly different in promoting the recovery of these functions.
