Popis: This paper reports the clinical experiences and preliminary observations from implanted microstimulators used to reduce some impairments following a stroke. Ongoing research protocols to reduce shoulder subluxation and hand contractures using BION stimulation are described. Comparison of compliance and patient satisfaction between individuals exercising at home with surface stimulation and implanted stimulation are characterized. The effectiveness of the two home based stimulation programs are compared.
