Description: This StrokeEd lecture/webinar provides a brief overview of the evidence for the use of electrical stimulation (ES) in the lower limb after stroke and common applications of ES in the lower limb after stroke, how parameters can be altered to increase the effectiveness of ES and strategies for troubleshooting difficulties with the application of ES.
Presented via Zoom on 15 Nov 2022
