一種新型設備能夠幫助腦卒中患者大腦某部分重新學習去激活或者重新學習自發性地控制肉。這種設備設計用于患者在自己家中進行治療，已經獲得了美國食品藥品管理局的許可。

Biomove3000系統能夠檢測腦中風后持續癱瘓肌肉極其微小的肌電圖（EMG）信號，并且使用這些微小信號啟動傳導至肌肉的電刺激脈沖，患者從而產生真實的肌肉運動。如果由于腦中風的損害不能產生規則電脈沖，或者電刺激不能傳導至肌肉，就不會發生正常的肌肉收縮。殘余肌電圖信號通常非常微小不足以控制肌肉。這就會導致不可逆轉的損害以及肌肉功能的喪失，導致癱瘓產生爪型手以及下垂足。

在幾乎所有腦中風病例中，仍然有非常少量的電刺激能夠傳導至肌肉。放置在癱瘓肌肉上的貼附電極能夠檢測到少量殘余肌電圖信號。Biomove設備然后將這些微小信號放大，當達到內部預置觸發水平的時候，嵌入式刺激器將電刺激回傳給相同的肌肉。然后這些肌肉就可以象患者自己大腦信號“指導”一樣的作出反應。

患者使用這種方法來康復癱瘓的手或者足部肌肉。這種Biomove3000設備是由Curatronic公司(Hashmonaim, Israel)研制開發的。這種形式的腦中風康復方法叫做肌電圖觸發的神經肌肉電刺激（electromyographic-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation）。
 
Device for Stroke Rehabilitation
 
A new device helps stroke patients re-learn which part of the brain to activate and re-develop spontaneous muscle control. The device, designed for home therapy, has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The Biomove 3000 system detects extremely small electromyographic (EMG) signals that persist in paralyzed muscles after a stroke and uses these tiny signals to initiate an electrical stimulation impulse to the muscles, resulting in actual muscle movement by the patient. If regular electrical impulses are not generated or can no longer reach muscles due to stroke damage, normal muscle contraction becomes impossible. The “leftover” EMG signals are often very small and unable to control muscles. This can lead to irreversible damage and loss of muscle function, resulting in paralysis causing a claw hand or dropped foot.

In almost all cases of stroke, there is still a very small amount of electricity that reaches the muscles. These small leftover EMG signals are picked up by stick-on electrodes placed over the paralyzed muscles.

The Biomove device then amplifies these small signals and when an internal preset trigger level is reached, the built-in stimulator returns an electrical stimulation impulse to the same muscles. The muscles now respond as originally “instructed” by the patient’s own brain signal.

Patients use this method to rehabilitate the muscles of an otherwise paralyzed hand or foot. The Biomove 3000 device was developed by Curatronic Ltd. (Hashmonaim, Israel). This form of stroke rehabilitation is known as EMG-triggered NMES (neuromuscular electrical stimulation).
