Despite the interesting innovation proposed in the paper, "Synergy-based functional electrical stimulation for poststroke rehabilitation of upper-limb motor functions," concerning the design of functional electrical stimulation (FES) profile, we are skeptical regarding the genuine effectiveness of the applied rehabilitation strategy. In this note, we argue that applying the rehabilitation method proposed in the above-noted work cannot pave the way for eliciting a motor learning process. Consequently, the proposed method cannot be regarded as a FES-based rehabilitation approach for poststroke rehabilitation of upper-limb motor functions.
尽管论文《基于协同作用的上肢运动功能中风后康复功能性电刺激》中提出了关于功能性电刺激(FES)方案设计的有趣创新,但我们对所应用的康复策略的实际效果表示怀疑。在本说明中,我们认为应用上述工作中提出的康复方法无法为引发运动学习过程铺平道路。因此,所提出的方法不能被视为基于FES的上肢运动功能中风后康复方法。
