Reactive balance training with neuromuscular electrical stimulation among people with stroke

This study examines the effectiveness of combining reactive balance training (REACT) with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the paretic lower limb muscles in individuals with chronic stroke. The study will assess the impact REACT+NMES training on biomechanical, clinical, neuromuscular, and neuroplastic outcomes, providing critical insights for enhancing stroke rehabilitation practices and reducing fall risk.
