The Info Electrical Stimulation with NeuroMove | Health News
My hemiplegic hand was completely flaccid for three month after my stroke. I did not get any motion back until I started using an electrical stimulation device called NeuroMove. All such devices strengthen muscles, but NeuroMove is unique because it has a
biofeedback component.
I watched a line on a monitor creep higher and higher as I thought about moving my hand.
That immediate feedback kept me focused and working hard even when I did not see movement. When my muscle activity got above the threshold line, I got a few seconds of stimulation and was rewarded with a visible hand motion. However, NeuroMove would not help me until I made a sincere attempt to recruit the muscles that open my hand. Equally important, NeuroMove would not repeat the stimulation until I completely relaxed the muscle I just used. Muscle re-education after a stroke includes learning to both recruit and relax muscles.
I tried other electrical stimulation devices that do not have a biofeedback component. They stimulated my muscles at pre-set intervals or when I pushed a button. I could not coordinate my efforts with those devices. In the beginning it took me
20 seconds to figure out how to recruit a muscle and another
20 seconds to make that muscle relax. NeuroMove patiently waited for me. The other machines zapped me whether I was ready or not. It was like trying to dance with a really bad partner who kept jerking me around the dance floor. I finally gave up trying and daydreamed while devices without a biofeedback component worked my muscles.
I never lost awareness of what my hand was doing when other people moved it, but I did not have a clue about where the muscles were that I wanted to control. Research on neuroplasticity shows stroke survivors can grow new connections in the brain, but that does not mean we can find them. The biofeedback component of NeuroMove helped me find connections I did not know I had. NeuroMove stimulated my muscles AND helped me retrain my brain.
P.S. Saebo has an electrical stimulation device with a biofeedback component. The ETS mode (EMG Triggered Stimulation) does what NeuroMove does. The Saebo Myo Trac is a small device that can be attached to a client's belt which makes a client mobile. However the Myo Trac requires complex programming. NeuroMove is a large heavy box, BUT has one simple program with a recorded voice to tell you what to do. I rented the NeuroMove and returned it when I progressed enough that I no longer needed it.
