The Effect of Task-oriented EMG-triggered ES on Upper Limb Motor Function in Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy

All treatments were planned as 2 sessions per week, for a total of 10 sessions for 5 weeks. For EMG-trigger-ES application, dual-channel Nu-Tek® brand, Maxi plus 2 Model EMG-trigger-BF-ES Device in our clinic was planned to be used. With EMG-triggered-ES application, while the patient is in a sitting position, shoulder adduction, and the elbow is 90 degrees of flexion and pronation, the patient will extend to the ball of 5 cm in diameter, which is placed as far as the distance between the acromion and the 3rd toe, and then the finger-wrist active extension will be stimulated and then It was planned to apply the ball to be grasped. One of the two 5x5 cm superficial square electrodes of the device was planned to be placed on the extensor carpi radialis and extensor digitorum Communis and the other 2 cm distal.
