In fact, electrical stimulation can help patients improve their function. At the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, for example, we strive to improve patients' current capabilities by using "forced interventions," such as electrical stimulation. By using this modality, patients can perform movements and specific tasks they otherwise wouldn't be able to do. This treatment approach is called the forced intervention paradigm.
My Paraphrase
Gad Alon discusses his personal experience with successful use of electrical stimulation in physical therapy by explaining it's use at the School of Medicine at the University of Maryland. With this technique (called intervention paradigm), patients engage in e-stim and as a result regain movements they had lost or could not perform before they started the treatment.
Summary
The author, Gad Alon, discusses how the use of electrical stimulation in physical therapy is a successful treatment when used in the right circumstances.
