Electrical Modalities in the Rehabilitation of Peripheral Nerve Injuries: State of the Literature and Current Clinical Applications

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are a common cause of long‐term motor and sensory disability despite advances in microsurgical repair. Functional recovery following PNI depends not only on axonal regeneration, but also on preservation of distal nerve pathways, maintenance of neuromuscular junction integrity, prevention of irreversible muscle ...

Enabling Functional Independence: A Scoping Review of Upper Extremity Assistive Devices for Adults With Progressive Neuromuscular Diseases

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
This scoping review summarizes the spectrum of upper extremity assistive devices for adults with progressive neuromuscular diseases, ranging from low‐tech supports to advanced robotics, exoskeletons, and brain‐computer interface systems. While these technologies show promise for improving enabling function, current evidence is largely limited to ...

Predictors for Successful Non‐Invasive Ventilation in Patients With Neuralgic Amyotrophy and Phrenic Nerve Involvement

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Phrenic nerve involvement in neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) may cause diaphragm paresis and respiratory impairment, for which chronic non‐invasive ventilation (NIV) may be beneficial. Data on treatment success and predictors are lacking.
