Four acute and rehabilitation care wards specialized in neurological treatment. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Subjects: Twenty-three stroke patients. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Interventions: The experimental group ( n = 11) received standard physiotherapy combined with intermittent pneumatic compression treatment (10 cycles of 3 minutes with a peak of 40 mmHg) for their hemiplegic upper limb. The control group ( n = 12) received supplementary to their conventional physiotherapy a placebo treatment, namely sham short-wave therapy on the hemiplegic shoulder for 30 minutes. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Main outcome measures: Sensory impairments were clinically assessed at three occasions over a period of four weeks using the Nottingham Sensory Assessment scale. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: Both groups improved in somatosensation over time, but the experimental group improved more than the control group ( p = 0.036) or 81.1% improvement versus 30.9%. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions: The use of intermittent pneumatic compression in the rehabilitation of stroke patients may be of clinical importance for the restoration of sensory function. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1191\/0269215503cr580oa","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,11,12]],"date-time":"2003-11-12T13:28:06Z","timestamp":1068643686000},"page":"14-20","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Treating sensory impairments in the post-stroke upper limb with intermittent pneumatic compression.
