Cerebrovascular Accidents: A Literature Review
The goal of this brief review is to investigate potential applicability of electrical stimulation modalities to early mobility treatment of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA or “stroke”). Rehabilitation clinicians working in the acute neurological settings see a diversity of diagnoses, a majority of which is stroke. Orders to treat patients post stroke prioritize early mobility focusing on ambulation. Yet many patients in acute recovery from stroke are non-ambulatory (Miller, Murray, Richards, Zorowitz, Bakas, 2010; Wade & Hewer, 2010). To decrease ambulation dependencies, gait training incorporates multiple treatment strategies including neurodevelopmental training, strengthening, gait training with assistive devices requiring intensive manual
