- Abstract
The article discusses a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial on the effect of electrical acupoint stimulation on the affected arm in acute stroke. It provides an overview on the treatment of paretic arm which includes exercising weak muscles with resistive loads, practising functional tasks and restraining the less affected arm. It also mentions that plastic reorganization of neural networks involving neuroplasticity process is viewed as key mechanism to overcome post-stroke.
