Aerobic exercise improves cognition and motor function poststroke.

Background: Cognitive deficits impede stroke recovery. Aerobic exercise (AEX) improves cognitive executive function (EF) processes in healthy individuals, although the learning benefits after stroke are unknown.

Objective: To understand AEX-induced improvements in EF, motor learning, and mobility poststroke.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation improves severe hand dysfunction for individuals with chronic stroke: a pilot study.

Restoring hand function is difficult post-stroke. We sought to determine if applying neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) was beneficial for reducing severe hand impairments. Subjects with chronic stroke (N=8; 3 Fe, 5 M; 58.
