Sensory Electrical Stimulation (SES)
has been shown to improve sensory
and motor function of the upper
limb. Impaired motor function from a
neurological injury may result in both
sensoryandmotorsystemdecits.
With SES, the main goal is to maximize
sensory input by providing stimulation
at very low-level (i.e., without producing
a muscle contraction). Studies show
that the added stimulation to an
impaired sensory system can improve
neuroplasticity, motor recovery and
function.Clientssueringfromimpairedfunction,weaknessandspasticitycan
