Effects of programmed flexor–extensor alternating electrical acupoint stimulation on upper limb motor functional reconstruction after stroke: study protocol for a double-blind, randomized controlled trial

Effects of programmed flexor–extensor alternating electrical acupoint stimulation on upper limb motor functional reconstruction after stroke: study protocol for a double-blind, randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Stroke’s prevalence and morbidity are increasing (Guano, et al. Neuro 89:53–61, 2017), and limb motor dysfunction is left in most patients (Gittler, et al. JAMA 319:820–821, 2018). Particularly, the rehabilitation of upper limbs is more difficult and time-consuming (Borges, et al...
