Overview
Brief Summary
In about 40 percent of cases, after a stroke, neuromotor impairment leads to activity limitations and the development of chronic functional disorders, which have a significant impact on patient autonomy.
In the early subacute phase, motor deficit in foot lifters is one of the factors limiting standing posture and ambulation, which is ultimately difficult to rehabilitate due to the lack of available techniques for obtaining early onset of useful active voluntary contraction.
The use of muscular focal vibration therapy, applied to relaxed muscle, may be of interest due to the portability and availability of the system and the neuromotor benefits demonstrated in healthy subjects and in acute and chronic post-stroke patients.
