Filed in archive Treatment by Gloria Gamat on April 11, 2006

" Worn on the forearm, it delivers an electrical impulse to the muscles in the hand and forearm to stimulate movement. The device is currently available in New York City through occupational therapists at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Except those who cannot be exposed to electrical stimulation (including patients who are pregnant or have a pacemaker), the NESS H200™ may be beneficial to nearly all stroke patients. However, this device should be used as close to the time following a stroke as possible to ensure best results.
