- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the potential effectiveness of active transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). It says that the study involved 29 survivors of mobile chronic stroke. It states that the proprioception detection threshold was investigated using the evaluation of the ankle's joint position sense. Results show that the participants tolerated active TENS, thus proves its potential benefits in physical function following stroke.
