Influence of functional electrical stimulation training on premotor and motor reaction time.
This study was designed to investigate the influence of functional electrical stimulation on the improvement of reaction time and its fractionated components during learning an horizontal arm-sweep task. 62 subjects participated and were divided into control, stimulation, and trail/stimulation groups. Functional electrical stimulation was an effective method of improving total reaction time and its central component, premotor time.
